According to what was reported, the battery explosion of an iPad led to airborne chemicals that could be toxic. As a precaution, the store was immediately evacuated.

The display panels appear to be in racks prior to assembly into their casings … As with many such images, it’s hard to assess whether they are what they claim.

Netflix decided to surprise us all today with the second trailer for next month’s Iron Fist. The fourth Marvel series to hit the streaming platform and the last major component before this summer’s Defenders crossover event will dominate all our lives, the show has a lot to live up to - particularly considering just how well-done and -received its three predecessors (Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and Luke Cage) were.
