A Romanian teenager burst into flames after
accidentally touching a live wire while attempting
to take the 'ultimate selfie' on the roof of a train.
Anna Ursu, 18, and a friend went to a train station
in the town of Iasi in the northeast of the country to
take a 'special selfie' that she intended to post on
Facebook.
But as she lay on top of the train and stuck one of
her legs in the air, an electrical field surrounding
the overhead cables sent 27,000 volts zapping
through her body, causing her to burst into flames.
Despite the best efforts of a passer-by to save her
life, the 18-year-old later died in hospital with
burns to 50 per cent of her body.
