One of the photographs in this set shows Ryszard Siwiec, a Polish accountant and former Home Army soldier who set himself on fire on September 8, 1968 at the Decade Stadium in Warsaw, during the national harvest festival, in front of around 100,000 spectators including the country's party leadership. He was protesting the Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia three weeks earlier. He was pulled from the fire alive and died of his burns four days later, on September 12. The communist authorities suppressed any account of what he had done, and film of the act was not shown publicly until after 1989. He is generally regarded as the first person in Central or Eastern Europe to self-immolate in protest at communist rule, ahead of Jan Palach in Prague the following January. The other images in this thread are unrelated to him and have not been identified.

On June 11, 1963, Thich Quang Duc, a Buddhist monk from the Linh-Mu Pagoda in Hue, Vietnam, burned himself to death at a busy intersection in downtown Saigon, Vietnam.. Eye witness accounts state that Thich Quang Duc and at least two fellow monks arrived at the intersection by car, Thich Quang Duc got out of the car, assumed the traditional lotus position and the accompanying monks helped him pour gasoline over himself. He ignited the gasoline by lighting a match and burned to death in a matter of minutes.

David Halberstam, a reporter for the New York Times covering the war in Vietnam, gave the following account: I was to see that sight again, but once was enough. Flames were coming from a human being; his body was slowly withering and shriveling up, his head blackening and charring. In the air was the smell of burning human flesh; human beings burn surprisingly quickly. Behind me I could hear the sobbing of the Vietnamese who were now gathering. I was too shocked to cry, too confused to take notes or ask questions, too bewildered to even think…. As he burned he never moved a muscle, never uttered a sound, his outward composure in sharp contrast to the wailing people around him.

Toasty! There's nothing quite like the smell of smoldering human flesh. It stays with you. I still get phantoms.
