I have seen two pictures of people at the blasts with some weird mask over their faces. Anyone know what it is? Check it out.

1. I wondered the same thing.

Maybe standard issue in first aid kits there, so that people can simultaneously cover their facial wounds while fleeing the area?

Don't know what that is.....weird! Maybe she's some type of performer?

The LSP Trauma/Burn face Mask is an integral part of the innovative Trauma/Burn Pac Emergency Treatment system. The masks are ideal for ambulances, paramedics, or disaster response vehicles, and are especially suited for the treatment of trauma/burn accidents most often encountered in such places as industrial facilities, restaurants, commercial kitchens, trucks, hotels, and gas stations... anywhere major medical injuries can occur.
