I once seen a SVX on fire in Chicago near O'hare. It was gone within minutes and that was days before I own a SVX so I did not pay too much attention.

I saw a ford station wagon burned to the ground last Friday on I55. That was also toast.

As you all know I found a new hobby as of late and one of the things to power a RC plane is using Lithium (Ion/Polymer) cells. One of the guys powered it with a Li-Po cell and had 3 planes in the trunk of his Lexus LS450. He went out to fly his second plane. One of the Li-Pos in the first plane that he just flew exploded and the car caught on fire. By the time he got to his car about 50-100 ft away, his car is burnt to the ground. His dog barely made it out.

I've also seen some footages of cellphone li-ion cells exploding. Trust me use the ear chord or Blue-tooth ear-piece with ni-cad cells. Put it this way, you will not survive if the li-ion cell were to explode next to your head.
