A 71-year-old man burned himself to death aboard a Japanese high-speed train on Tuesday in what appeared to be a deliberate act of self-immolation, the authorities and witnesses said. A second passenger on the train, a woman, also died.
The man, who some witnesses said appeared to be mentally disturbed, doused himself and parts of the train’s interior with a flammable liquid before igniting it with a cigarette lighter at the front of the train, just outside the driver’s compartment, passengers told Japanese television networks.
Aerial footage showed emergency crews and railway workers surrounding the sleek, white Shinkansen bullet train, which had been traveling to Osaka from Tokyo. Twenty-six people were treated for injuries including burns and smoke inhalation, the local Fire Department said.
