Either it was done deliberately or it wasn't, someone needs to make their
mind up.

Deliberate, but not as an act of terrorism, perhaps? For example taping
up a safety cut-out on a tool.

Possibly. I wouldn't be surprised if he'd done something stupid too it
since
batteries don't generally burst into flames and when the do its when
they're
being used. Unless they're in a Tesla.

or a Nokia

Or a Boeing Dreamliner

Apparently the "solution" to that was to put the battery in a stronger more
fire resistent box. Doesn't exactly fill one with confidence, nor IMO does
does the fact that most of the plane is composite when composite failures
have caused a number of airbus rudders to fall off and composites can't be
checked as easily as aluminium for fatique cracking. The 787s might be fine
now but you'd have to be pretty brave to fly in one in 20 years time IMO.
