I bet she was surprised when it ignited.  Lucky it didn’t hurt her or burn down her house. 

I was just in Hamburg a few months ago.  Nice place to visit.  I didn’t get to do much sight seeing but one thing I did do was visit the Maritime Museum.  It is a can't miss thing to do.  One of their many displays was on the harbor history.  There were wall size murals of the devastation from the Allied bombing.  It was unbelievable especially since you could look outside and see the same Harbor, streets, etc today.  Amazing recovery.  For those who may not know, Hamburg was the center of U-Boat activity. It is a really big natural inland harbor.
