Kazakhstan. At Almaty Airport a man, overwhelmed by emotions, publicly doused himself with gasoline and set himself on fire because he missed his flight.

The customer is seen standing at a desk of a travel agency in Almaty International Airport in Kazakhstan demanding assistance.

The man, who is thought to have been drunk at the time, starts a scene before the receptionist pleads with him to let her leave.

He allows her to go, before an entourage of airport staff members begin to approach the man.

As more and more workers continue to approach him, he makes more threats towards them.

Suddenly, the man bursts into flames and dashes out of the room towards petrified airport employees.

As he rushes at them engulfed in a raging fireball, horrified staffers attempt to put out the fire with an extinguisher.

The passenger is then seen lying on the floor and moaning while covered in white powder - his shirt entirely burned off his body.

He was rushed to a nearby hospital and was left fighting for his life.

The CEO said: "He came in, asked for a phone, started calling someone on it, said that he missed his flight, and then poured gasoline on himself.

"Our agent asked permission to leave, he let her out, and then set himself on fire.

"Our brave employee Ksenia, it's good that she didn't panic, she worked clearly and quickly."

And the company director explained: "He didn't ask to change the ticket, he just asked for a phone. He entered the office and asked for a phone to ring his wife - but then started pouring gasoline over himself after arguing with her.

"We don't know him, he's just a client, the agent didn't have a conflict with him."

Psh. Next time he wants to kill himself I bet he'll think ahead a little bit

Seems somewhat premeditated, who carries gasoline to the airport?

[Mr.NoCredit]

Always seems like a good idea until the flames start licking the skin.

I am betting that didn’t encourage the agent to rebook his flight!

I DO! That's one of the Amazing Miracle Travel Hacks I've seen on Youtube! I put foil on my doorknobs, a plastic bottle under my car tires, put plumbers putty in the locks on my car, and ALWAYS carry a one gallon gas can with me, in case the aircraft runs short of fuel. (Or we go camping in flight!) I also play ELVIS music at high volume to scare off rabid bats. AND batty rabbits!

Is it OK to laugh?

Well, he might’ve missed the flight, but he still got a sweet tan…
