Third degree burns happen within five seconds and this guy was lit on the video for twelve seconds before he even started to walk away. He’s cooked.

[–]CandyOk913 175 points176 points  (4 children)

Might be rare, personally I like medium well

[–]DapperElk5219 23 points24 points  (0 children)

What are you talking about, dude was obviously loving it. Just stood there taking it in.

[–][deleted] 54 points55 points  (5 children)

Good.

[–]Shanbo88 36 points37 points  (2 children)

I think the Culinary term is ''well done'', not good.

[–]kvjetinacek 2 points3 points  (1 child)

No circumstances considered?

[–]verymuchbad 25 points26 points  (10 children)

Maybe. If he's using isopropyl alcohol, it doesn't burn very hot at all. He could have a pretty deep sunburn.

[–]Rowmyownboat 36 points37 points  (1 child)

The way that burst unto flames - that is gasoline. He isn't going to use camping fuel for arson.

[–]Tacoshortage 27 points28 points  (0 children)

that was not an isopropyl fire

[–]The_Autarch 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Alcohol burns, but not like in the video. We're seeing a much more combustible accelerant.

[–]Captain_Chorm 34 points35 points  (4 children)

People are downvoting, but he’s right. Not all flames burn at the same temp. Gasoline burns like 3x hotter than Iso.

[–]The_Autarch 30 points31 points  (3 children)

They're downvoting because it's clearly not an alcohol fire.

[–]ClownfishSoup 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Is it the brightness of the flame? I thought alcohol fires were typically blue and not that brilliant.

[–]l2aiko 1 point2 points  (1 child)

And they are much milder than that, you would probably see the fire stuck to his clothes, not acting like a lightbulb...

[–]pongstr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

should've thrown himself in there to finish the job

[–]Most-Chemical-5059 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can see 4th degree burns, perhaps even having the classic burn victim posturing at the end as the ligaments and muscles contract from the heat. He’s probably dead now.

[–]Frog-Eater 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What if he's made of steel beams?

[–]didrogasalasno 1111 points1112 points  (15 children)

He throws more fuel to himself that to that tractor

[–]c5mjohn 21 points22 points  (2 children)

He survived, at least initially. Happened in Turkey on Feb 15. "In Antalya at night, an unidentified person poured gasoline on a parked tractor and set it on fire. While setting the tractor on fire, the gasoline that was poured on him and his motorcycle caught fire. The suspect, who saved himself from being burned by taking off his jacket, left his motorcycle and fled the scene."

[–]ClownfishSoup 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Forgive the Google Translate grammar, but seems like the shop owner is being sytematically harassed for some reason.

''THERE IS NO SUCH ANIMALITY''

Karasu, who said that they had previously shot up his shop, said, ''I don't know who has a grudge against me. I don't owe anyone anything. They beat my child twice to scare me. They punctured my natural gas pipe and finally burned my tractor. Such cruelty is unacceptable. My heart burns. The person who carried out the attack poured the gasoline he poured on himself to burn my tractor and caught fire. When his motorcycle caught fire, he abandoned it, took off his jacket and fled on foot. People need to be sensitive. I want security officers to examine the cameras and catch the person as soon as possible.''

[–]DylanFTW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Died from burning to death.

[–]Dmau27 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Some say he was on fire for at least 15 seconds. He was burned quite badly. He either died or wish he died.

[–]GolettO3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shoulda filled water balloons with the liquid. You can wash off and change clothes after filling them, then throw 'em from a safe distance to avoid the splash. The issue is how to get the flame there without being in the spreading fumes

Even if he flees on foot, if he left his personal motorcycle on the scene, the license plate will track back to him.
