Memory card survives extreme car fire
SanDisk’s Extreme memory cards have lived up to their name following a recent car fire in the US.
An Amercian photographer named Petra Hall and her fiancé were coming back from holidays when their MG sports car exploded into flames.
Although the couple escaped unhurt, an expensive Canon 7D and Canon 24-105L lens and a MacBook laptop were burnt to crisp.
Surprisingly, both the hard drive in the Macbook Air and the SanDisk 8GB CompactFlash 3 card inside the 7D survived the flames, and the data on both were recovered.
