I feel sorry for local news photographers. They are hugely skilled and poorly paid, and sent out to photograph miserable people pointing at dog turds. Here, we celebrate their work

If I'm not mistaken, that looks like an induction hob. What's the bet someone left it on?
Also:
Woken up by a tremendous bang. Phnarr.
I see your problem there...you are charging your phone ON A COOKER
Agree with the other 2 comments.
Odds are pretty short on this chancer having cooked his phone & trying to blame Nokia.
If the 1680 was completely lethal, it is possible that one or two others would've detonated by now.
I can just hear how this went, immediately afterwards:
Girl: "you total 'tard, you've left a ring on & cooked your mobile"
Bloke: "...er...didn't"
Girl: "If that's so, you'd better go to the papers about it"
Bloke: "what? er, okay"
Girl: "ooh, I love it when you're so masterful. You can do me up the wrongun"
...sorry, got a bit carried away at the end there.
