In the source article for this thread:

Noah Joraanstad, 25, said he watched in horror as the vintage plane came hurtling toward where he was sitting in the VIP section. He started running, then was blown off his feet.

Flying shrapnel hit his in back, barely missing his spine and kidney. He had nine stitches in his head and was covered in aviation fuel that burned his skin as spectators tried to wash it off.

Not sure what to make of it. Maybe chemical burns, maybe something else.

Likely. Ever have a zippo lighter leak when overfilled in your pocket, and your leg will burn for a day or two. Gasoline (even Av gas) will do the same.
