Bethany Storro:an acid attack victim

Bethany Storro, victim of acid attack – “I could hear my skin burning” – Bethany Storro was celebrating after getting a new job when someone came to her and said “Hey pretty girl, do you want to drink this?”
The unidentified person then throwed a cup full of acid in her face. The skin instantly began to sizzle.
“It was the most painful thing ever,” said the 28-year-old from Vancouver, Wash. “My heart stopped. It ripped through my clothing the instant it touched my shirt; I could feel it burning through my second layer of skin.”
Seconds before being attacked, Bethany was on seventh heaven over her new job. As a treat, she shopped a new pair of sunglasses for herself. That turned out to be a lifesaver, because it procted her from full blindness.
She managed to describe the attacker as as a black woman in her late 20s wearing khaki pants and a ponytail.


“I have never, ever seen this girl in my entire life,” Storro said. “When I first saw her, she had this weirdness about her – like jealousy, rage.”
The doctor who operated on Storro declared the liquid was as strong as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid.
As police searches the attacker, Storro still doesn’t understand one thing: “Why?”
Did my attacker wake up in the morning and say I’m going to “carry some acid in a cup and throw it on the first person I see?” Storro asked.
Even with the severe damage to her face, Storro, who lost most of her hearing after two bouts of spinal meningitis as a child, was optimistic and thanking God she could still see.
“I’m just so glad it’s a miracle.”
