#2This is a huge problem for Samsung. Individual recalls don't usually damage companies permanently; people understand that sometimes shit happens, and they quickly forget about it. But two in a row, when the replacements were supposed to be safe, is the kind of thing that etches itself much more deeply into public consciousness. Popular culture is now going to be associating "Samsung phone" with "time bomb" for a long time to come.

#4This entire episode seems hard to believe. How could Sammy fail so hard after so many years of industry knowledge? What corners did they cut?
Is it just unbalanced reporting or possibly sabotage? Seriously don't believe they got wrong what everyone else seems to have dodged.

And the event taking place on an airplane is close enough to the nightmare scenario of catching fire during a flight that it will be firmly placed into the public consciousness.

#7I recently flew to Munich/Prague with Air Canada and Lufthansa - the flight attendants said to both not charge a Samsung Note 7 and that they require them to actually also be turned off.

#8I guess Samsung's overworked,overly stressed employees need to take a rest. No seriously their working culture is showing that no matter how much you try there's always possibility you screw it up.
Rest my dear koreans. Rest so you can do better.

#9Why are we allowing these on airplanes?! Are we waiting for someone to leave one of these devices in their checked luggage so it can start a fire that downs a commercial airliner before banning them?!

Does turning them off prevent them from catching on fire?
What is the actual problem described in technical terms, really?
