Fire on Bullet Train

[Smudger105e]

I hear on the news there has been a fire on a Japanese Bullet train.

It seems from reports that a passenger covered himself in oil and set light to himself and two people had heart attacks.

I hope that those injured make a full and rapid recovery.

Two people dead in Japan bullet train fire after man set himself alight

Two other passengers seriously injured and several treated for smoke inhalation after fire on board Shinkansen bullet train travelling from Tokyo to Osaka

One man died apparently after setting fire to himself, and a woman was also found dead after being overcome by smoke.

Japanese media quoted a witness as saying the man, who has not been named, poured an oil-like substance over his head and set himself alight with a cigarette lighter...

Quite similar to the 2011 Leighton Buzzard incident. Odd and unfortunate.
