And see the linked video, in which Jerral's eyes no longer look quite so scary.

Some of the news accounts got it wrong. Jerral was trapped in that burning tank for an hour and a half. They couldn't reach him until a vehicle was used to winch the tank gun around. When they finally went to pull him out, his arm came off. After avoiding it for a while, Jerral finally learned those facts from his battle buddies.
