iphone spontaniously combust.(allegedly)

Henri Helminen’s week got off to a red-hot start Monday when his new iPhone caught fire in his pants just as he arrived at work with his father.

The smoking hot phone, and Helminen frantic reaction, were caught on a loading dock security camera and showed up on Finnish television and YouTube Monday night. Although commenters suspected the video was a fake, Helminen insist his iPhone 4S did catch fire and he has the video and still photos to prove it.
