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.
