Note the cell phone is incidental, it is the battery that is the ignition source in the cited accident. Another scenario where a cell phone would have been blamed. I watched a woman filling her car with gas blithely chatting away while gas spilled out of her full tank and covered the asphalt all over the parking lot surrounding her and her vehicle. While there is no way the cell phone itself would have ignited the spill, one carelessly dropped cigarette would have turned that scene into an inferno.
