Those batteries were intended for the Samsung Note 7

Why do they have a water fire extinguisher? It should be CO2 . Don't put water on a burning battery.

It could be worse, it could be in your car

[agrafes]

And they do the worst thing possible, spray it all with water 💦. 🙄

I think only charged batteries carry hazard of catching fire, if so why do they charge them in first place. Seems like an unnecessary risk.

Sue the owner for criminal negligence . Unlimited liability all round

Accidents happen, but next time, have a better fire suppression system in place, employee training, and proper PPE to fight fires.
Also, better storage methods.

Lithium batteries do far more harm to the environment than modern fuel efficient vehicles.

It appears that if you're handling unstable products...where is the solvents Despenser mops or film canasters location. People aren't panicking, so maybe media hype. Music describes that.
