Actually was more gas according to this news source. http://shanghaiist.com/2014/09/04/b...php?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter
That clear liquid could be some kind of ignition fuel. Scary shit, there should had be a fire extinguisher near by and these workers there should had gotten it if they had it and quickly take out the fire. But that girl should had drop and roll, it might had help to take out the fire too but she might had been in shock. That employee's way of handling that fuel is so careless and dangerous. If I see they do it here like that, I'll be like calling the fire dept to get that place shut down.
The right thing to do is to roll on the floor to try to reduce the flame at least. But the liquid fuel would have soaked into her dress making rolling less effective to put out fire. I know very well now, my sister's dress caught fire with a candle flame, had to go to intensive care last year for a month. But this post is good reminder to check for existence of fire extingushers and question staff on training.
difference In school tests, even with practical experiements and drill and mock tests, there is a gap between actual realisable results or actions and perfect marks of 100% under pressure, time limit, stress and pain. Therefore it is safe to say that even when one knows something it does not 100% guarantee that what one knows is actioned at the critical moment of need. This is the wisdom. A person could be startled,confused or shocked with the immediate danger. An observer could have clearer thought but the same could not be said for a person engulfed in flame.
Didn't read the article but just wow.. if it was gas added. It's almost a no brainer that an accident was gonna happen.
Actually, if you simply LAY DOWN; you've already eliminated 50% of the burnable area because you've deprived it of oxygen. Rolling over seeks to put out the rest. Sitting up will ensure that you maximize damage. As for the incident? Lack of forethought and poor training. This video should actually be saved and used as a training aid on exactly why it is so important to allocate small aliquots of volatile materials in full opened vessels (like a bowl or cup, instead of a closed reservoir, like a bottle). An open container would allow explosive gas to escape before the fuel is added to the ignition source, and introducing the fuel from smaller vessels limits the quantity of ignitable material, hence mitigating potential explosive force.
SIMPLY? Dude. You cant' be serious. It's not some cartoon show. That was kinda disturbing. I wonder how she is doing now. That quality of life in China and US will always differ because of this.
