Just when it seemed like things were finally calming down and Watch Girlfriend with big boobs is taken away by brother OnlineSamsung's Galaxy Note7 recall was going well, a new doomsday scenario popped up. A Baltimore-bound Southwest Airlines plane was evacuated while it was on the ground at the Louisville International Airport after a passenger's Note7 started smoking, according to WLKY.

Green's wife Sarah, who was not on the flight when the incident happened, told the Courier-Journalher husband's Note7 was a replacement device he got from AT&T after exchanging his original. "I would love to know why the replacement phone is doing what the other one was doing," she said.
The Note7 was confirmed to be a safe one by The Verge, who spoke to Green. Green provided several images as proof to the publication, including an image of his replacement box with a black square which denotes it's got a safe battery. Additionally, Green gave the publication the IMEI for his alleged device and the device checked out as safe when they entered it in Samsung's database.
"There is no evidence that this incident is related to the new Note7. We are working with the authorities and Southwest now to recover the device and confirm the cause," a Samsung spokesperson told WHAS11.
Mashablereached out to Samsung Electronics Americas for more details and received the following:
“Until we are able to retrieve the device, we cannot confirm that this incident involves the new Note7. We are working with the authorities and Southwest now to recover the device and confirm the cause. Once we have examined the device we will have more information to share."
Note7 phones with safe batteries are physically identifiable by their green battery icon on the lock screen and in the menu bar; unsafe Note7 phones have a white battery icon.
Using an IMEI database that checks for devices with affected serial numbers, retailers literally cannot sell any defective Note7s that aren't flagged as "safe."
There have been reports of replacement Note7 phones overheating and suffering from rapid battery drain, but they have been isolated to South Korea and Samsung claims they're unrelated to the bad batteries.

In partnership with the U.S. CPSC, Samsung issued an official Note7 recall urging all Note7 owners to return their defective devices and have them replaced with "safe" devices in mid-September. Up to 1 million Note7s are affected due to defective batteries that are prone to catching on fire and exploding when they're overheated or charging.
Similarly, the company has recalled Note7 devices worldwide, with the exception of devices sold in China, which reportedly do not contain faulty batteries. China's "safe" Note7s have since been challenged after one man's Note7 reportedly caught on fire and left him with two burned fingers and a damaged MacBook Pro.
Following the recall, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration urged all flyers to keep their Note7s powered off during flights.
Samsung's Note7 has shaped up to be a complete disaster. Despite rave reviews, including Mashable's, the Note7 continues to tarnish Samsung's brand and ability to adequately maintain quality control.
As of Sept. 27, more than 60 percent of recalled Note7 phones have been exchanged in the U.S. and South Korea, according to Samsung.
