A man who was set on fire in Seattle and left to die last fall spoke out for the first time on Tuesday. "My whole body was on fire," said Kasey Busch. "When it happened, like I knew I was dead, there was no doubt in my mind." Busch said he never expected to survive the attack. His burns are so severe, doctors told him only five percent of people ever survive them. "I flat lined in the ambulance on way to the hospital, and they revived me," said Busch. The attack happened in the Fremont neighborhood on November 7. Busch was doused with gas and set on fire. "He said, 'what's up,' threw a Big Gulp cup of gasoline on me and, I'm like standing there thinking, 'what the (*expletive*) is going on?" said Busch.
