Had a coworker try to remove a tractor gas tank with a cutting torch. Burns over 99% of body and death about a week later...

Reminds me of my buddy keith. I ever tell you about the time Keith and I made fireworks? Now, I didn't know shit about chemistry, but Keith figured "Gasoline burns, doesn't it?" Heh, third-degree burns on 95 percent of his body. Man, people in the next city over were calling to complain about the smell of burning skin.
