I'll grant that an old monk long trained in meditation and making the choice of self-immolation is different than a guy in a cage involuntarily being murdered by fire.
You should admit, though, that the monk's example modifies the "always" in your post.
By the way, I too was a kid when that happened, and lived in South Vietnam the year before the monk killed himself. But I don't know what those two facts have to do with what happens to bodies when they are burned.
The whole video is not available, just a part where he's standing on fire with pretty much a normal look on his face. Then he's supposedly completely engulfed in flames. It looks fake to me.

Don't be ridiculous. I was a kid when that happened and it has nothing to do with the average person being burned to death.

I didn't watch the video. Was the pilot tied up in a standing position?
