iPhone5 Killed a 23 yr old Chinese Flight Attendant
 

Apple: iPhone 5 Killed a 23-year-old Attendant of China Southern Airlines - China Navis

It is also on the hk newspaper headline as well. I hardly believe 5v can kill someone before burning the whole iphone down, probably her fiancé killed her with a taser, but whatever, RIP.

Electrocuted to death by 5 volts? :suspicious:

Maybe she was using a cheap charger and had a direct line to the 220v feed on the plane? But even then...

And BTW Ma Ailun is the name of the president of Boeing China...

Killed by 5v? Not likely. :lol

Yeah 5V aint gonna kill her....

Theres sooo much more to this story that we're not getting.

RIP .

inb4 "volts don't kill, amperage does"

But I highly doubt 200-500mA of 5V for a several milliseconds will cause burn marks on human skin or flesh

I'm not pro or anything, but I'd think that the amount of electricity needed to kill a person instantly is insanely high.

And no, there is NO APP for that. :troll:

RIP

she looks hot.......
sorry I only came for the pic......

Rip, very sad

Ever hear of musicians getting electrocuted (some have died) from touching a guitar or mic connected to an improperly grounded amp? I'm betting something similar thing happened here.

Current through the heart kills and your body's resistance is very high. A very small current can kill you. I believe it's something like 10-25mA. The body has tens of thousands of ohms of resistance so if you work out V=IR. So if 25mA * your body's resistance = the voltage that will most likely kill you.

I recently completed my electronics/avionics training so take that for what it's worth. I think this is how it works but I'm not 100% sure. That being said, I have received electric shocks in the past year from my stove, a faulty soldering iron, a meger (a device that measures extremely high resistances), and a helicopter...and I'm still tickin'!

She was probably using a Chinese made Iphone 5 knock off :troll:

try megaohms...only way for that to happen is when the body is wet then the resistance drops...its when there is a low resistance going to the heart that you can get killed....they said the neck had signs...? hmmm i dunno but i'm not csi...

Maybe she just came out of the shower and her hair was wet or something

they tell you that in first term electronics engineering as well. that's why when you do work you try to use the 1 hand rule as much as possible so current doesn't travel through 1 arm - across your body (heart) - and down the other arm.

A small current like 25mA MAY have the ability to stop your heart, but it certainly can't cause scorch or singe your flesh and skin, especially not at 5V.

you see this as hot...? oooooooooohhh boy, you have been living under a rock for a few hundred years :lawl:

or a cheap ass china made third party charger... if thats the case, I doubt there would be any court cases of her family trying to sue apple, as I heard many of my coworkers are saying thats what they want to do..

"Her wedding will be held on August 8th"

should be an interesting honeymoon

I bought a laptop charger one time from Ebay. First time I used it, thing smoked up and stopped working

Used a cheap ass charger in a non-grounded socket...

Most likely a fake iPhone charger.
This guy did an article on those: Ken Shirriff's blog: Tiny, cheap, and dangerous: Inside a (fake) iPhone charger

if u every been on a china south airlines u then u know that she decent looking lol

but seriously its quite sad to see someone this young lose there life

There's a lot to electricity, one can be killed instantly by as little as 0.2 amps. Amperage is the killer, not voltage (to those who were speculating voltage).
