AN INQUIRER READER attending a conference in Japan was sat just feet away from a laptop computer that suddenly exploded into flames,342661-001, in what could have been a deadly accident.

"Fire extinguishers leave a mess on your suit and belongings; pack your stuff (if you can) and leave, leave, leave!" he advises.
