I’ve got no problem with someone offing themselves in a solo act if that’s really what they want to do, but killing multiple innocent people just going about their daily business is utterly abhorrent.

Possibly a suicide bomber but without explosives? If so, a nasty development indeed, as there would be no clues to intent beforehand - anyone can obtain a gallon of petrol and a cigarette lighter without arousing suspicion.

Just after 6pm on a commuter bus, it was most likely packed with people going home

It can't be anything else than a deliberate attempt to harm others

The question is why ?

Hopefully we'll get an honest answer

WTAF?!
I imagine burning alive is possibly the most painful ways to die. If you want to off yourself that way, go do it in solitary and let someone clean up the ash pile. To subject other innocent people to this is demonic

It is most painful indeed.... I have only seen on body of a suicide by fire and it was quite, well, unpleasant. The mouth was stuck open too with inside the throat burnt badly too. Really not a pleasant way to go, to subject others to it is just unbelievable.

I really, really hope we find out why this happened.

One Xmas morning I had a chap set fire to himself on the front lawn of his house during a domestic

Watching a human Roman candle and being completely unable to save him was one of the most horrific things I've seen particularly as his estranged wife and children were watching

30 years ago now and as clear in my mind as if it were yesterday

The effect on those that saw this cannot be underestimated

Many years ago We had two suicides by men in the road where we lived.

One bloke sat in the bath ,poured a gallon of petrol over himself and up he went.

The other directly opposite ,took his shotgun to the bathroom and blew off his own head.

Bath tub guy had been made redundant
Shotgun guys estate agency was about to go belly up.

So unnecessary for both.
