As a human watching other humans, it is really sad to see those still walking but so badly burned. I’m guessing that the care available in Mexico is years behind the USA. I was reading that in the past, 50% burns were pretty much fatal. Today in the USA one can sometimes survive 90%!! Of course what sort of life that is, I don’t know.
Another study I just saw said that 30% burns or more, half resulted in death, and they all had issues 5 years later. All the way from mental issues such as anxiety to severe health problems.
Just as in terrorist attacks, while the number of dead is terrible, the horrific damage to the injured makes me wonder if it was me - would I be better off just dying in the event?
I can surely have compassion for people but it’s pretty dang hard for the absolute stupidity and thievery these folks brought on themselves. They were all going for the ‘free gas’ that literally blew up in their faces.......their degree of ignorance is profound!
If the burns don’t kill you, you wish you were dead. There aren’t too many good ways to go, and that’s probably one of the worst. Painkillers won’t touch it. Good Lord that was stupid.
