Boy survives gasoline blast and returns to class in Calif
Keith Hulin, 12, back at Tierra del Sol Junior High after a February gasoline explosion burned 85 percent of his body. He wears a mask and a special suit to protect grafts while attending school. Keith's friends and teachers prepared classmates to prevent taunts, and doctors note his unchanged daredevil personality. He spent months in hospitals, received multiple grafts, and undergoes further surgeries in Galveston, pledging to avoid more injuries.
