Woman sparks fire trying to unfreeze gas pump with lighter

A woman in Russia attempted to thaw a gas pump using a lighter, which caused both the hose and vehicle to catch on fire. CBSN's Contessa Brewer has video of the bright idea.

As a fuel delivery driver, I often hear, "Oh, I wasn't thinking, " or " Oh, I didn't know that. " I remind them that the signature on their driver's license says you know better.
