Bethany Storro had just bought a pair of sunglasses and was celebrating a new job when a woman walked up to her with a cup and said: "Hey pretty girl, do you want to drink this?" The woman then splashed acid from the cup onto Storro, who stumbled in pain and fell to the ground screaming. She felt agonizing pain as the skin on her face bubbled and sizzled and portions of her blouse disintegrated.

"It was the most painful thing ever," Storro, 28, said on Sept. 2, 2010 at a press conference. "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."

The 28-year-old insisted that she would not let the attack in Vancouver wreck her life, and laughingly marveled how her eyesight had been spared by the sunglasses she had bought just minutes before the attack. Police are seeking a black woman with a ponytail in the attack.
