Apple's Amsterdam Store Evacuated After iPad Battery Explodes (9to5mac.com)
Slashdot readers radi0man and DeBaas report of an exploding iPad battery in Apple's Amsterdam store. DeBaas writes: An exploding iPad led to the Amsterdam Apple store being evacuated, as reported by 9to5mac and local news in dutch. The store reopened after the fire brigade ventilated the store. 9to5Mac notes that this is the third evacuation this year of an Apple store due to an exploding battery -- the other two were from iPhones. The iPad and its punctured battery were put in a container of sand after it exploded. No major injuries were reported, however, "three employees who experienced trouble breathing were treated by first responders," reports 9to5Mac.
Let the employees take the brunt of the explosion, that's what they're paid for.
There ya go, that's the Apple spirit we have come to know, now go straight up to Tim Cook's office so he can stick a gold star on your forehead.
When all you have is a hammer, every problem starts to look like a thumb.
I'm a little worried that an emergency container of sand appears to be standard equipment in an Apple store.
