Jesus Christ. This has quickly become the biggest tech product disaster of the century. There is going to be absolutely no one left who will ever want to purchase a Galaxy Note ever again if this keeps up.

It looks like we already have a second reported replacement unit Galaxy Note 7 to experience having an exploding battery:

Another replacement Samsung Galaxy Note 7 has reportedly caught fire in Minnesota. The news comes just days after a replacement Note 7 caught fire on a Southwest flight in Kentucky (seen in the picture above), and all four major US cell carriers told customers they could exchange all Note 7 phones, replacement or not.

The Minnesota case involves 13-year old Abby Zuis, who said she felt a "weird, burning sensation" while holding her Note 7 on Friday according to a report from KSTP. After the incident, the phone had burn marks similar to those seen on other Note 7 devices and it melted a cover that was on the phone.
