CBS and the AP are reporting that a ringing cell phone ignited a gasoline vapor fire at a Mobil station in New York on Thursday. The problem is that the techno-myth of the ringing cell phone as a fire/explosion trigger was nicely busted in the second episode of Mythbusters, a fun show on the Discovery Channel. (That episode re-airs this upcoming Monday, May 17th, btw.) Barring a defect in the phone, a gap/fault in the circuitry to allow a strong charge to arc, I simply don't believe the phone was the likely trigger.


Adam & Jamie knocked themselves out trying to get it to happen - they really wanted an explosion - but it wouldn't work.
