Wow. That's scary. Almost as scary as when gasoline tanks explode.

Bad enough when a laptop battery explodes, at least you can jump up and run away. You may not be able to do that in a car. And all know that gasoline tanks are perfectly safe and never explode. /sarcasm.

Yes, and one thing consistently missing from the debate is this thing called perspective. Exactly. This article would make great material for John Stossel's "Are we Scaring Ourselves to Death?"

Well, the difference is that usually there is an outside factor in the gasoline explosion, a collision for example.
Not so for the battery. At least not a noticable outside force.
