(New York) Tim was a 39-year-old manager at a company that
provides plasma to burn victims. He was also an avid snowmobiler. Early
one morning on the way to work, he purchased some gasoline to use as a
cleaning solution for the sled's engine. (There are so many ways that plan
can go wrong, which will Tim choose?) He placed the container on the front
seat and went into work.
That afternoon, Tim needed to retrieve some paperwork from the car. Since
smoking was not allowed in the building, it seemed an opportune moment to
slide into the car and light up. But his cigarette wasn't the only thing
that lit up when he flicked his Bic.
Fumes had been leaking from the gas container all day. As he took his
first (and last) drag, they ignited. In the inferno, Tim's car was
severely damaged, but he managed to escape with only a few burns, becoming
one of the few to be eligible for his company's employee discount program
for plasma!
