Usually it is recommended to watch a battery for 1/2 hour after something happens to it (like a crash). If he had done that then this mess would never have occurred. This Lipo fire was completely avoidable. I hope he has better luck next time, and that all of his losses are sorted out.

Just a side note, the idea where Lipos explode and people think of them like that is called the "availability heuristic". In other words, it's how people judge the likelihood of an event based on how present it is in memory.
