Might have eventually melted. If you noticed near the end of the video the middle of the laptop looked like it melted into itself. Great video, kind of shocking.

and the other has magor overheating problems
We intentionally created conditions in which the Li-ON battery pack would explode inside a generic portable. The results are dramatic. There are numerous conditions where these fires can occur in real life.
Faulty battery packs (driving the recalls), faulty protection circuits inside the PC,
exposure to excessive heat,
and blunt force are some of the major ways that this could happen to you.

Considering they're banning silly things on planes, I just hope laptops are included since think they're more dangerous then water bottles and nail clippers. LOL

Banning water bottles? That's not silly. How else are they going to charge you $10 for a bottle of aquafina?
The video may be a little over dramatic in inducing the circumstances to cause a battery fire. But it does kinda put into perspective the battery recall. It may be 1 in a million that blow up. But if you are using the thing when it does, you are totally screwed.

Now that explosion alone would not be enough to cause a big danger to the plane or people in it (though it still could injure a few), but it would cause drama and scarce on a plane. And combined with other factors, like wrapping it in some more explosive material, could be lethal. What gets me is the fact that those batteries explode for so long. So if you could pressurize it and make it all happen at once, yeah,could be quite deadly.
