We all knew the kilt is not universally appreciated, but. . .

Spontaneous combustion.

I heard about this on the radio during the morning commute. I hope he'll be OK.

Wow. Pretty sketchy on details. Was this a criminal assault by other passengers? Some sort of random accident (perhaps involving an acrylic kilt)? I hope we get more detail as the case unfolds.

*edited to add: Prayers for whoever this is.

Rather sketchy indeed. No indication of what caused the fire.

Other reports so far have described the victim as 18 years old and wearing a "Scottish kilt".
