  Isn't there a pretty good chance that the horrible plastic smoke will make you pass out before the death kicks in, making it just terrifying and brutal but not agonizing?

    I've seen the results of tents catch on fire - I don't know about the panels in the dome in OP's link, but certain plastics etc can burn extremely quickly. A normal pop-up tent will burn to the ground in a matter of seconds, cocooning anything inside in molten plastic.

      I can believe this. I used to work in "the Warehouse" (store name, rather than what it was). We were told that if there was a fire, particularly in the areas containing mostly plastic, we were to get out as fast as possible, no heroics, no trying to put the fire out: just scram. One of the larger buildings they owned caught fire a few years before I started, and had burned up by the time the fire department got there.
