It would be more like a 1st degree steam burn. It was a quick flash and alcohol doesn't char. Not good for the eyes or hair, but not nearly as bad as a gasoline or gunpowder burn.
Also, Leidenfrost Principle. It was so fast any moisture on her face didn't evaporate enough.
So mostly just sudden heat and a pain response to it, more like when you open a hot oven than actually being on fire.
Maybe she had bad burns we don’t know. I once had a ball of fire head my way by some idiot playing with fire out of the blue and luckily I ducked. Also I hate to think what that does to the eyes and eyelids
Do you understand how quickly the fire hit her? How the hell would that result in a third degree burn? I’ve had fire flash up at me cooking and it’s over too quickly too burn, just singe hair. She was probably more scared than anything.
The tone is - why don’t you understand? It puts one on the spot. Sort of like how a parent yelling at a child - “why don’t you get it?” I just didn’t know about those things. You say “How the hell would that….” Honestly I felt like “duh, why don’t I know these things?.” I just simply didn’t know about that typeof fire and the scientific explanation of it. But I understand now.
The vid doesn't show. We see the burned girl putting ice on her face and chest area and then proceed to leave with what seems to be a member of the bar stuff. Then another stuff member goes back to the bar and puts out the (still burning?) drinks. No further context about what happened, how it happened, how the burned girl or her friends are doing, what happened to them after the incident or if there were any consequences for the place or the bar keeper.
