Passersby got the shock of their lives at a Swedish railway station when a man appeared to spontaneously combust right in front of their eyes. The man was standing outside a vinyl record store at the station when, whoosh, he burst into flames. While most stood and stared in shock, a streetcar driver ran to his rescue and used his coat to put him out. No word on how, why or who.
Psst A vinyl record store?
YIKES!
(Eerily reminds me of some Pink Floyd cover art)
Self combust? I thought only my computer hard drive did that….hmmm …my pills please…it’s medication time…
Ah, vinyl records. I remember them well. I still have around 400 of them and the means of playing them. Don’t know if I’d explode in flame for them though.
“A vinyl record store?”
I bet the shock of seeing that is what set him off.
I first heard this could happen when I was in middle school. Scared the crap out of me for quite a while and I felt so helpless.
My guess is the gassy loon was walking out next to him as he lit a match.
The silent ones are always the killers!!!
And you are a loud one.
“used his coat to put him out” Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!! That is just so darn funny!!! I don’t know why but it is really cracking me up big time
Actually I don’t think you can “put them out” ‘cos I think they burn from the inside out when they spontaneously combust.
