There was the case of a tram breaking down in a sloped tunnel where the only people who survived were the guys who walked back to where the first was and proceeded down the tunnel. Everybody who went up in the tunnel away from the fire was killed by the fumes or heat. That sound terrible! It's true that the heat itself can kill you before the fire cooks you. If anyone actually falls into a volcano they'd be dead long before the hit the lava. And once they did, they wouldn't sink like in the movies. They'd actually likely skitter around on the surface like water on a hot skillet due to the leidenfrost effect. Actually, that seems a lot more disturbing than the slow sinking into lava Hollywood portrays. Again, melt really isn't the right word. Actually, this time it really is. You can look it up. Most clothes melt before they burn due to the fabrics that are used, like polyester. I know this as a fact because one time a shirt of mine got misplaced by a candle. It never caught aflame, the fabric just melted everywhere... You were right about flesh melting, I misspoke, I may have been thinking about how clothes melt into your flesh but who the Hell know. But yeah, having your clothes melt into you sounds like an unbelievably painful experience. It's no wonder they have burn wards. Such injuries require specific treatments if the person is to make a full recovery. And burns are some of the most painful wounds even long after they were caused. Fourth degree burns, however (that sometimes penetrate to the bone), I've heard are not painful because at that point it completely kills the nerves. I've even seen a video of a monkey with fourth degree burns on its arms from an electric line. The middle parts of its forearm was nothing but burnt flesh and the clear bones. You could see through the gap between the radius and ulna. But the monkey didn't act bothered at all because it felt no pain. That's awful enough, I can only imagine what living through that would be like for a person... --- Trading info: https://tinyurl.com/yy5l25ap \| Gen 8 (WIP): https://tinyurl.com/thlpd4y 3DS FC: 3239-5835-8457 \| IGNs: see links for a complete list <cite>Flappers posted [p:957185669] in Fire vs. I...
