Lithium batteries can ignite, but they don't just explode like that.

These pagers don't use lithium battery.

So what other kind of battery would a pager be using that might explode if not lithium? Hydrogen cell?

Not a battery but sure, that's what I was suggesting.

My point is that the lithium battery angle is a diversion and isn't even relevant.
