Yea, that is a bit of instant karma there. Hopefully the police found her, and arrested her for first degree arson.

A few more from the video.
Yes, they are in order.
The woman pours what I assume is at least part of a gallon of gas into the car through the back window.
She then lights a lighter and leans way into that window to try to light the gas with the lighter.
Then she gets blown up and falls down. She runs away. Then she runs back to get the gas can and something else (I think she broke the window that she poured the gas through, so probably whatever she broke the window with). The explosion blows the sunroof and driver's window out.







I suspect the police are looking for...
