ThinkPad explodes at LAX, ignites bomb scare

In a time when you're not even allowed to say the word "bomb" in an airport, it's got to be like, really freaking embarrassing to have to run up the jetway at full speed, shoving other passengers out of the way as your flaming laptop explodes on the ground.

According to an eyewitness, passersby stared aghast or fled crying terrorist, the ThinkPad apparently had a number of death throes as the fire went through various phases, until eventually a United employee busted out the fire extinguisher and laid the laptop to rest.
