What happened yesterday?

Maybe

The smoke emitted from the cooker may have created something similar to Spordic E. The electromagnetic waves emitted by your cell phones, while turned on but not in use, may have been propagated by the rib smoke sporadic E layer in a way that bounced back to your cell phones creating harmonics which triggered a circuit shutdown. It happens...

When it was smokin' in the deep fryer it kept on, stayed on and still works.
It left stains in my pocket for about a week.
Everything is better when fried in lard does not apply to cel phones.
I figured it out Phil, different kind of smoke.
Thanks
Mike

Here is a picture of the crime scene about an hour after it occurred.

Sorry, that was probably me. I got a new phone yesterday and was trying a new ap. "Kill All Phones" is probably not a good ap to buy.

That's my guess too.

Great picture... but a cookout really isn't complete without riot guns.

Mine was fine, but then again, I have special equipment.

HMMMM?

Howdy,
Well, it looks like coincidence.
It has been fun and I'd like to think ripple infested, smoke damaged,tin foil hat wearing big foots had some thing to do with it.
I really enjoyed the riot gun barbecue thread too.
I have it from a good electronic authority that it was just a fluke, and anything that would have shut the two phones off would have killed them altogether.
That comes right from the man at the Radio Shack counter.
What more electronic authority is there than that. Around here it is Edison,Tesla and Radio shack counter person when you are talking electrical geniuses.
If the old phone starts flashing messages out in Morse code you all will be the first to know.
Meanwhile THANKS!
Mike

Did I observe the possible consumption of adult beverages in that photo?
