Survivors who saw the attacker said he was not their colleague and that he was screaming ” die!” when he dumped the liquid and started the fire, according to Japanese media reports. “There was an explosion, then I heard people shouting, some asking for help,” a female witness told TBS TV. “Black smoke was rising from windows on upper floors, then there was a man struggling to crawl out of the window.”
