#8 "torch" [Brit.] == "flashlight" [U.S.]
Earlier Fox had a report that said something like "a flashlight with corroded batteries exploded." That changed to "something that looked like a flashlight." Now (1:47pm est) the Fox report is gone, and all they have up is a considerably less detailed AP dispatch.

It does say two incidents, and quotes the FBI as saying they "appeared to be unrelated," but I wonder...

#9 A publicity stunt for the new show LAX? I wonder.
