Flaming Hell!

Holy cow! This was my local super market back when I was living in Dublin.

Young man sets himself alight in north Dublin supermarket:
A man in his 20s is reportedly in a critical condition this morning after setting himself alight at a shopping centre in north Dublin yesterday afternoon.

According to newspaper reports this morning, the incident happened at Artane Castle shopping centre at around 3.30pm.

The man reportedly grabbed a bottle of flammable liquid from a shelf at the Tesco outlet before pouring it over himself and setting himself alight.

Security staff used fire extinguishers to put out the flames, but the man suffered burns to 90% of his body and is reported to be in a 'very critical' condition at St James' Hospital.

Why did he go to 'James? Beaumont Hospital is just around the corner.

I've been informed that Beaumont doesn't have a burns unit, while St James houses the national burns unit. So, on reflection, I now see why he was brought to James'.
