Samsung Galaxy S III self combusted /exploded in a girl's pants burning her badly

Phone self combusted in a 18 year old girl's pants without any obvious reason.

The pants had to be ripped off of her to avoid further burns.

Samsung is not the only exploding brand, iPhones and others are known to explode without an exogenous cause too, leaving carnage behind; mutilated bodies, burned down houses and cars ...  So you better watch out where you stash your phone and be ready to toss it away like a grenade. 'Fire in the hole' (no!..definitely not in the hole).
