A woman died after she was set on fire aboard the New York City subway on an F train in Brooklyn, police say.

I’ve been trying to find out more about this because the story doesn’t make any sense:

“he approached the sleeping woman, and then lit her on fire with what was believed to be a lighter. She added the victim’s clothes became fully engulfed in a matter of seconds.”

Clothing shouldn’t just be flammable like that without some kind of accelerant.

      For how many cool and interesting things there are to do at all hours, so many fascinating people to meet, an endless array of delicious foods and beautiful places… A slight nose wrinkle is all it takes to dissuade you?

      Lmfao.

          Uhh, raised there, watched the towers fall, etc.

          “My bOsS aSkEd mE…” What a horribly boring conversation. Would you consider yourself an interesting person?
