The doctor, 27, was about to insert a new tube into the patient’s throat from below his Adam’s apple on Friday morning, when another tube that was already embedded in the patient’s airway caught fire.
The flames — reaching some 10 centimeters high — were immediately extinguished and the damaged tube removed, but the patient was left with serious burns to the respiratory passage, mouth and face.

This is how the Japanese prepare for the end of days. By learning how to use their necks as flamethrowers. It will become customary in Japan, during the year 2043, to bow to a guest and then try to incinerate them with your throat flame. Failure to do so? Instant death!
