Cool video. But that looks like what I expected. The videos of the pagers are small direct explosions and not really the heavy flame and smoke of the videos.

That powerbank in the bus.. whoa.. and those guys with the ebike in the elevator.. stuff of nightmares.

Yeah, being trapped in a lift with a burning Ebike battery sounds like not much fun at all.
