He made his own daughter live on welfare while he himself was a billionaire. He treated people like they were scum he walked on and was no more than a brilliant thief. His company an os completely follow this system. The world is better without people like him

Have you not just done the same thing?
Someone has died and you have managed to squeeze in a comment about android basically poisoning the minds of its customers....

R.i.P to the victim

I think you are lost here.

Wow that sucks. We had hydrogen fluoride leaks where I work but not as bad as this one. Ours was only about 5L. Sucks to anybody that got injured.

That last part there where u said something along the lines like 'its the company's fault' isnt true. They have safety requirements and equipment on demand for people there, if you chose not to wear them then its not the company's fault totally now is it?

I say its negligence on both sides(the victim and the company). Mistakes happen, people die/get injured, RIP to the guy that died. This should be a warning to employers and employees to stress safety protocols.

Someone died and there are still people fighting over samdung and Nokia and apple. By God, this is about somebody that worked for a company for money, so he can have a life. A human died. Pay some respect....unbelieveble how ignorant people can be!!! R.i.P and condolence to the suffering family. This should be an alarm for Samsung and for any other moneysucker company to stop thinking only about their pockets, but to have more respect for their workers and provide them proper security.

From my experience Working for Samsung, you don't get any respect as a human being. The manager is always right and you cannot say "no". And you are expected to have no life. So I'm not surprised that they were misinformed. RIP to the one who died.

All companies should be able to comply and follow the QA and QC to avoid serious hazards.

but that man's brain shut down and can obviously not feel any pain anymore.

however... it was a really horrible way to die.
Look up "hydrofluoric acid" and you'll understand.

I'd be more worried about those that survived.

I pray it was only an industrial accident and nothing more. May the soul of the gentlefellow rest in peace.

RIP for the lost life. Glad everyone else got out safely.

Seriously fanboys, chill with the jokes. This is not the time for that.

Some people have absolutely no respect and are seriously screwed up in the head.

I remember the same thing happened with alot of Android fanboys when Steve Jobs passed. They were cracking jokes like "apple died with Steve Jobs" and "hahahahaha what do apple fanboys have now that their CEO is gone? Android FTW!!!". I'm not even an Apple fan AT ALL but I realize that the man just DIED and even if it was a rival corporation, I don't make jokes about it.

That moment reading all those ignorant posts all over the internet made me really start realizing the effect Android has on some of its fans and it's very sad.

I still like Android now but seriously guys, show some dignity and have some respect.

I hope the family of the lost one can move forward from this.
