On Thursday, a Pentucket Regional High School Student had her iPod Touch explode on her desk during science class. Well, no one was injued in the process, but there may be a reason why it happened. Gizmodo got some intel on what really happened…

The iPod did not just explode. It was broken so a kid took the entire thing apart and was rubbing wires against the battery, which became very hot, then exploded. This is not a faulty product that caused a danger to people. This was bored kids, in a classroom with a substitute all week, who found a dangerous way to entertain themselves.

Personally, I would not do it myself, but would be a cool thing to watch.
