Burned By Acid

The woman randomly burned by acid this week in Washington is nearly deaf. Bethany Storro's story has been in the news since Monday, when she was unexpectedly assaulted by a stranger in Vancouver. Her face is now wrapped in bandages and she may be disfigured for life. A black woman had approached her on the street and asked her, "Hey, pretty girl, do you want a drink of this?" The woman threw the acid at Storro who says she could immediately hear her skin burning. Police are now looking for the assailant who ran from the scene. Storro says she is glad she happened to be wearing sunglasses because it saved her sight. "To be hard of hearing and blind. That would drive (my family) crazy," she told reporters.
