Did an iPod set this Saab on fire?

Posted in News by Conner Flynn on July 9th, 2009

Did an iPod set this Saab on fire?We’ve all heard the tales of potential danger regarding iPods and fire. It’s often hard to sort the truth from rumor. Well here’s another cautionary tale. This one comes out of Sweden where a Saab 9-3 recently met a fiery end.

The official cause of the blaze hasn’t been figured out, but investigators strongly suspect that an iPod left in the car is the culprit. The car itself showed no signs of technical faults and there’s no evidence that the fire was intentionally set. Also, the fire started on the seats, where the iPod was apparently sitting.

It’s unclear if the iPod was just tossed there and caught fire all by itself, or if was charging, or if it was rebelling against too much Barry Manilow when things went wrong.
