Samsung is exploding, worldwide. And everybody is aware of the company’s troubles after they had to recall their model ‘Note 7’ after an international crisis of sorts amid reports of multiple explosions. Then their washing machines started exploding, as well, and 2.8 million of those were also recalled. One would have thought that after suffering from upwards of $5billion losses, the company would finally find some respite.
Unfortunately, the biggest blow to Samsung has finally happened
While the company’s official website states that they were able to recall the Note 7 before it was officially released, Pakistanis were feeling left out about not having participated in the global ‘explosive’ trend against Samsung.
It finally happened:

After Aftab narrated his ‘near death’ experience, his “friends” rallied up against the company that risked an innocent young man’s life:

Some stealthy sleuths have found out the real culprits behind Aftab’s experience with the clutches of death
Samsung is a South Korean company, heavily funded by Indian RAW. It is now targeting Pakistani civilians.#SamsungRiskedAftabsLife

And people are being warned that Samsung is causing explosion, not of the faulty Note 7, but their ordinary models that they have kept safe from exploding, everywhere else in the world
#SamsungRiskedAftabsLife This is not Note 7 about which Samsung warned us. This is Galaxy Note 4 which bursted pic.twitter.com/S1Au7Sc4Qk
