A Tokyo commuter train was delayed Friday due to a burning smell that was caused by an Apple iPod owned by one of the passengers.
The train was stopped in western Tokyo's Setagaya Ward for eight minutes -- quite a long time for Tokyo's busy train schedule -- at around 8:20 a.m. local time. "When a member of staff went to investigate inside the train, a passenger came over showing him that the iPod she was listening to had burst apart," the spokesman of the rail line operator Tokyu Corp told Reuters. No injuries were reported.
