arielCo writes "There are several reports in the news about an explosion in a Foxconn factory in Chengdu that manufactures the iPad 2, killing two workers and injuring another 16. 'The Chengdu Municipal government said the explosion occurred in Foxconn's "polishing plant" at around 7 p.m. Experts say it is likely a cleaning stage at the end of the production process after devices are assembled.' There's a short amateur video of the ensuing fire, taken during the evacuation. Apple said they are working with Foxconn to investigate."

I'm just saying if people want to kill themselves and they sign contracts that prevent their families from collecting benefits if they do they may cause "accidents" so their families can still benefit.
I don't see how any fucktard can interpret that as trolling.
