Man on fire casually strolling the streets of NYC.

Sh*t. I didn't see your joke

Even more bizarre, after a fairly detailed search on the interwebz there's literally no news about this at all.

Surely someone must know what happened. One guy was clearly on the phone (presumably talking to 9-1-1).

You don't just catch on fire like that and just walk away. The guy must have been severely burned.

Is it a revolver i see in his right pocket.? (357 nickel)

Sorry. I don't know what else to say:


Okay, maybe one thing. It was a hot time in the cold town tonight lol.

That might be the truest statement I've ever heard on ATS.

Wait...you can HEAR this web site?

That might be a sign that you're not okay, too.

Mystery solved.......

Just a little thoughtless after a quick crack sesh.


"When the man's family asked him "what the hell happened" to him, according to Weiss, he said he had been smoking crack on Halsey the previous afternoon — and had accidentally set himself on fire when he put his cigarette lighter back in his pocket while it was still lit."

So, did he live or die?

Usually burns over more than 50% of the body are fatal (unless you've got some spectacular health care)

This guy is either crazy, or lucky...or both!

I think said dude was somehow okay.

I live in NYC and it is one crazy wacked out place. Amazing how some people just walk off things...... like full body burns.

Flacka?
