"A man was on fire at the National Mall on Friday afternoon just before 4:30 p.m., according to multiple witnesses and authorities speaking to the media. The incident was at 7th and Jefferson, and the person at the center of the incident is reportedly alive and breathing, but with "life threatening" injuries. Many early reports, some citing witnesses, say that the man set himself on fire, but that is unconfirmed at this time. We'll add more as it comes in on this developing story."

It may take weeks to ID this guy. How can you self-immolate let alone do it quietly? I hear some hardcore Buddhists do, that must take either serious nuts or flat-out insanity.
