Wouldn't all devices have assploded and not just pagers the first day?
No, it doesn't work that way.
I saw a CCTV video of one od the explosives, way too big to be an overcharged batter, and there was no initial burnout.
I have not seen any videos, just aftermath photos.
Anyway, I see everyone jumping to kike conclusions
About the pagers and radios? If so it was israel and they have admitted as such.
The Carrington Event was a ~X45 flare. The 12th of this month was a G3 storm with an X1.3 flare being the largest. Nowhere near strong enough to do anything to any device.

Our electronics now days are much better at handling electro magnetic interference than they were 100+ years ago. It would take a larger storm than an X45 to cause havoc here on earth. Maybe satellites and radio frequency towers would be affected, but not consumer devices to the point of exploding.

It would take out our electrical grid, low-earth satellites, ISPs, and cell networks. Anything with a long wire attached is in trouble, as is anything in orbit. Grounded wires just introduce another way for current to enter the cables after a big CME.
It would need to be > X45 with a spot on direct CME hit. There was sparks and fires in 1859 and the entirety of the telegraphing system was not destroyed. We were hit with an X28 on 04/11/2003 and not shit happened except for a few slight disturbances.
You are talking about analog telegraphs and lines, not nano-scale electronics. We're far more vulnerable and reliant on technology now, not less.
Plus do you think a big CME 140 years ago means that's the upper limit? There is hard evidence that the earth was fried by the sun about 12k years ago. Not just electro-magnetic radiation, I mean half the earth cooked with deadly x-ray lightning levels of radiation and biblical floods. Do you think it's just coincidence that those squatting man petroglyphs look exactly like plasma toroids and are oriented all over the world to the same point in the sky?
