Samsung just can’t seem to catch a break. Following an global recall of the new Galaxy Note 7 after their batteries where catching fire, the new Galaxy is once again in the news for all the wrong reasons.
A flight on Southwestern Airlines needed to be evacuated because of a smoking Galaxy Note 7
A flight from Louisville to Baltimore had to be evacuated at the gate after there where reports of smoke near the plane. What’s even more concerning is that it was a replacement Note 7 which had been deemed safe by Samsung. Brian Green, the owner of the smartphone, stated that he powered down the phone before takeoff when it started smoking.
He then dropped the phone onto the floor where he noticed a “thick grey-green angry smoke” emerging from the device. It isn’t yet certain that the phone malfunctioned for the same reason that previous Note 7s where catching fire, but nonetheless this isn’t good news for Samsung.
