A woman sprinkled herself with incendiary liquid and set herself on fire before 1 pm in a field near a restaurant in Crema. A passerby, who was in the car with his wife, got out of the car and tried to put out the flames with a towel, later helped by a man who arrived with a fire extinguisher. In the meantime - the rescuer said - other people with the mobile phone in their hands remained in the parking lot of the restaurant. There was nothing for the woman to do .
It was the mayor Stefania Bonaldi to publish the man's story on Facebook, commenting that "if the spectators of this tragedy had the coldness to take the phone and capture the scene, instead of rushing to help or calling for help, then we must ask us questions. Serious and very, very urgent. What have we become? ".
