Explosion in Nevada City Council Meeting

I wonder why they don't say what the 'item" was?

Curious shape to the rug burn at 1:14

Okay... It was definitely not the cell phone and no one wants to say "what" it was...

I'm going for "personal device."

My thoughts as well.

She ran out of the building, apparently on fire.

You only do that because you are embarrassed.

That is a "personal device" with some interesting capabilities: I give you the "Tongue of Flame":



Her purse wasn't on fire, it was trying to enter Earth orbit.

Wow.

Apparently there are bluetooth and wifi versions that can be controlled via smartphone from a remote location.

Still in beta testing but some of the newest have rocket propulsion, heat seeking radar, and freakin lasers attached to their heads.

I don't have much experience with the um personal devices for women. As in none. But I do have a question. Why would she bring it with her in her purse to a public meeting? No way was she planning to use it. Does she just like to have it ready to use if the need arises at any time?

If you have a woman in your life I'm going to assume that you're content with not knowing what you're missing.

LOL.

I guess the silver lining here is that it exploded in her purse, and not while "in service".

I'd hate to see what happens to it at WOT, or if it gets rear-ended.
