Explanation in picture
The flames licked up and injured people headed for the riverbank to take refuge. Their clothes were torn, their burned faces were so swollen, I couldn稚 tell if they were facing me or looking away. Many with arms hanging limp had clear lines on their heads marking where a hat had been.
