FAA considers banning the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 from flying on U.S. airlines

phonearena.com/news/FAA-considers-banning-the-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-7-from-flying-on-U.S.-airlines_id85084

>As a rule, the FAA isn't in favor of allowing items on a plane that can go "boom!" The agency would prefer that airplanes stay in the sky until they slowly descend onto the runway of their destination. With that in mind, the FAA got together with the TSA and major U.S. airlines this weekend to determine whether the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 should be banned on flights.

>Meanwhile, the FAA has yet to make a decision about whether to allow the Galaxy Note 7 to board a plane. Actually, what the FCC does with the device is largely up to Samsung. The manufacturer has not officially recalled the phone, as pointed out by Consumer Reports. If it decides to do so, government entities will need to get involved, and anyone selling the device can be criminally charged. If the Galaxy Note 7 is recalled, the device will not be allowed inside an aircraft whether carried by passenger or crew. The phablet will also be prohibited from entering an aircraft as carry on or checked luggage.

This is why you buy iPhones and not cheap imitations.

That's just ridiculous, especially once they start sending out replacements, you'd hardly be able to police which device is a replaced and which isn't.

Also, a fire the size of a cellphone is literally not an issue for an airliner. Especially not in the passenger cabin.

>a fire the size of a cellphone is literally not an issue for an airliner

Someone get me a reaction image for this please.

iPhones are truly the greatest phones ever made.

SAMSUNG IS FINISHED AND BANKRUPT

SAMSHIT SHILL ON SUICIDE WATCH

Samsung BTFO
OnePlus and Google Phone master race

> mfw I see a note7 charging

>Also, a fire the size of a cellphone is literally not an issue for an airliner. Especially not in the passenger cabin.
What if the passenger barges into the cockpit, locks himself in there, and uses the fumes of the burning phone to incapacitate the pilot and co-pilot?

what a fucking retard

You have to be the dumbest person on Sup Forums

Cockpits are locked during flight

But why that user said is true, a lithium-ish battery doesn't have enough power to bring down an airplane.

Did you know that fire spreads at an alarming rate?

>durr how does fire work

But they are opened at key critical points in time.

You can't get into the cockpit. And if you can, you don't really need a phone to do all that.

You are aware that they extensively use fire resistant materials on planes and have things like fire extinguishers, don't you?

Fires on planes are a serious issue. They use materials that are less likely to catch fire and the crew are well trained. If anything starts producing smoke in the passenger cabin there will be alarms and cabin crew will be there in seconds with fire extinguishers.

There is more chance of a house burning down from the phone catching fire, and some guy in Australia had one on his fucking bed in a hotel when it caught fire while he was sleeping and it just made a black mark on the sheets.

I forgot that passengers and their belongings were all wrapped in fire resistant materials.

Regardless of the probability of it taking down the plane, that is NOT a risk that can be taken.

Samsung phones from here on out are a fire risk and people should be cautious around them.

Every single battery is a risk of fire.

>.000001% of Note 7s explode
>Burgers panic

t. Note 7 user

look at all the times we saw somebody say this about apple, they sure do look like very bankrupt to me

>toxic battery fumes and a possible small fire isn't an issue on a flying airplane guys

Why do I even bother coming here?

But some are larger than the others.

It's literally 1% of all the phones

It's not samsung exclusively, lithium batteries are fucking scary and phone ones aren't even that bad - go check out some youtube videos of li-po battery explosions.

All this talk about banning bullshit.
Make them stay inside fire proof bags in luggage.

Nah bro all that melting magnesium and plastic is fine to have on your sealed environment

Just so we're clear here, this is what these people think wouldn't be a problem in a plane

youtube.com/watch?v=0rjn5BC3EOQ

1% of phones have exploded? Don't think so famalam

>li-po battery explosion

Huh... That could be easily adapted for a terrorrist-type attack.

Jesus Christ the smoke

>hurr it smokes a bit
wow, that sure is a threat, some people could cough a bit, woooow
and they'd just open a window to let the smoke out, who gives a shit

>and they'd just open a window

>and they'd just open a window to let the smoke out, who gives a shit
wow, you've never actually been on a plan, have you?

kek

Is it really this easy to troll nu-Sup Forums?

nice try, faggot

So you were, as they say, "just pretending"?

Nice try, I can taste your salt nerds

>enough highly toxic fumes to fill 3 average sized classrooms

Your post must be bait, it must be.

...

...

Tastes better than Stallman's foot cheese

This is bad news irregardless if you have a Note 7 or not. Now your going to have to literally take your phone out of it's case completely, show off the logo and whatever else to TSA agents. Just another step of stupid shit you have to complete to go through airport security.

Thanks Samsung

Why FAA is so retard? Fuck muricas!

>your

SAMSHIT IS FINISHED & BANKRUPT

BTFO!!!

Samshit is finished.

Nice grammar ! Fuck retards like you?!

those were the old days. LiPo's arent that dangerous anymore.

So? Apples fucking MacBook tend to get hot enough to burn.
This means apple phones from here on out are a burn risk and people should be cautious around then.

was buying note 7 part of your plan?

Funniest thing I've read all year

That battery is out of the phone though. It is a completely different scenario with the fire started in a completely different manner.

Literally any Li-ion battery will do that if you stick a knife in it.
The main difference between the battery being enclosed in a case and in that video is that it is oxygen starved. You should know what this means.

terrorrist attacks with samsungs when?

Seriously never buying samshit again.

Well maybe they should consider a brand new FCC approved explosion container to carry your N7 on planes. 5.99$/ trip
>otherfags btfo
t. TSA

yeah sure fucko.
I'm not going to die in an aircraft fire because some asshole was using a proven unsafe memephone.

>What if the passenger barges into the cockpit, locks himself in there, and uses the fumes of the burning phone to incapacitate the pilot and co-pilot?
There's an issue if he's able to barge into the cockpit in the first place
We should ban Thinkpads because Sup Forumsentoomen can attack security with them

10-15 terrorist on a plane. All poking a hole in the phones battery at the same time.

Plain down.
