The sole survivor, an 8-year old girl, was thrown clear of the wreckage
but suffered burns over 80% of her body. She may survive, although she
may wish she hadn't.


I dumped a full skillet of spitting HOT bacon grease on my upper thigh (Quad
area) when I was 11 - while camping. Burn area was the size of a modern CD
disk. A large water blister formed that was the size of a 1 quart zip-lock
baggie ...full of water. That blisted would slosh from side to side when I
was on my back. It popped after a few days of me playing with it.

Most painful thing that I've ever been through. I can still almost feel that
day's "arrrggg" 35 years later.

I still tear up when I see the Vietnam War photo of the little girl running
down the road, her cloths, and most of her skin, burned off by napalm
.....my burn was so so so so small compared to that.

85%. I can't even imagine that hell.
