Two pages so I'm assuming a bit of a rush job to get in before deadline. He feels his pulse at the end and says we're all going to die... does that have to do with the title? Does he have some special disease?
I like the fake eye thing, he seems to have an elaborate plan laid out, wish we were clued in to what's going on more. Could be worth fixing up after the tournament.
Why would he need to sneak a match inside his eye? Just put it in your pocket. It's not a box cutter.
What just happened? Why did the plane explode? How did Carl know? I missed something. Please don't let it be the exploding hand sanitizer trick again. Please.
If the fire is out, even if the fire alarms are on, why would someone say they're all about to die?
There IS a way to start a fire inside the restroom and let it get spread behind the walls where it would be unstoppable. Requires the person to destroy the smoke detector, use the paper products as kindling, start the fire, and stay in the fire as quietly as possible. Was attempted a few years ago with a Coke can full of gasoline, but the terrorist chickened out before lighting the fire. And now we can't bring anything bigger than 100ml on a flight.
Title doesn't seem related to the story, but then again the story itself seems cut off.
I get the feeling if you put out a flame within ten seconds, and I assume the plane isn’t on fire or else Carl would definitely not have time to proclaim they’re all going to die, then everyone would survive. It’s an odd ending for me. I guess it meets the criteria but only for less than ten seconds.

“Strike anywhere” matches are banned from US flights. So are flammable liquids, but there’s a specific exemption for hand sanitizer so long as you meet the overall limits for liquids.
