Fact or fiction?

>>18460239
I've never researched it much but I wouldn't be shocked if it's happened. Show me some evidance

Fact I believe, they determined that the people who "spontaneously combusted" had a high fat count in them and were usually wearing something flamable. They did a report on it a while back
>>
>>18460251
>they
who? fat and flammable material dont just ignite? what gives? where is this report?
>>
>>18460251
There's lots of fat people out there.

I'd think this would happen more often if the only factors were fat and flammable clothes.
>>
>>18460239
Fact. All the people that supposedly died that way were fat and wore flamable clothes at the moment, and I believe it was also proven most of them drank on an habitual basis too, so they probably had a high level of alcohol in their blood too.

I also can recall having read about a lady that went to wait for the bus after washing her hair and it bursted into flames spontaneously. Seems some chemical on her shampoo reacted badly with another chemical on her hair dye and the heat of a really sunny summer day and that caused the fire.
She survived but lost all her hair, sued the shampoo company and got a decent amount of money from it.

Yeah, usually it was elderly people who fell asleep near a fire. Clothing becomes charred and acts as a wick for melting fat, effectively burning away most of the body.
>>
>>18462509
Can you prove it?
>>
>>18460239
It happened several times in history, that much is proven. The details on how and why are still unknown.

The majority of victims are overweight, elderly women with osteoporosis who also smoke. The fat in your body acts like candlewax and when they bones are degenerated it's easy for them to burn away to nothing.
>>
>>18460271
I remember seeing it on an old show aired on Friday nights in the US called Unsolved Mysteries.
>>
>>18460239
Since it has never happened in recent history I am assuming it's one of those tricks that were played on people when there was no serious crime investigation forensics, or cameras, or anything. I'm pretty sure it was either a hoax or a bizarre accident that was made to look like something out of the ordinary.
>>
>>18460239
Fiction.

The key is "spontaneous." Human chemistry just isn't capable of it. Human combustion, sure. But not spontaneous.
>>
>>18460239
It's real as is raining fish and frogs and so on.
>>
>>18465473
Spontaneous isn't like without a causal chain of events, it's more about without external factors influencing the occurence.

>>18460271

In 1999, a paper was published by the Forensic Science Society in their journal,Science & Justice, with the imposing title of “Combustion of animal fat and its implications for the consumption of human bodies in fires.” The authors, John DeHaan, S.J. Campbell, and Said Nurbakhsh.

The BBC re-did the experiments in 1999, I remember watching it. Amazing and pretty much shatters the notion that a human body can't burn like that. Even fire investigators were stunned.

-----

I do recall reading about a modern incident where a woman was receiving abdominal surgery when a blue flame suddenly appeared over the opening and in front of the surgeon 7 or 8 others assisting. It burned for about 30 seconds before self-extinguishing. Patient was fine. Who the hell knows how it starts. :^o

We can for sure produce a lot of highly flammable substances. Also we're made up of a bunch of bacteria too. Consider that hay bale walls will spontaneously combust from bacterial action if they're too wet too.

The thread I was waiting for.

Can anyone here help me with this?

I'm looking for a scan of this newspaper article.

Old geology did not provide a mechanism for continental drift, hence, Alfred Wegener was a crackpot until he was proven true.

In many cases clothes are not affected. We are not talking about chemistry here.
