Andreas Christopheros opened his front door and a stranger threw a beaker of sulphuric acid in his face. The acid was so strong his shirt dissolved off his body and it burned through the floor of his hallway. His wife burned her own feet trying to drag him to the shower. The man had driven 300 miles for revenge and knocked on the wrong door. Andreas lost an eye and his eyelids. He would later say he'd rather have been shot. December 2014, a quiet street in Cornwall. Andreas was working from home, building a new business. A normal day before Christmas. From his office window he noticed a red van. A few minutes later, someone knocked. In the video below he tells it himself. He opened the door like anyone would. In one motion the man said "this is for you, mate" and the acid hit him. He didn't even have time to blink. His wife ran downstairs and found him screaming. Police later caught the attacker. He had gone to the wrong address. Andreas was never the target. He went through endless skin grafts. He wore a pressure mask on his face every day. His business folded. His son was 2. He says he refuses to be defined by it. How do you forgive someone who destroyed your face by mistake?
