Burning Man - "(not) national emergency" - because 'climate change' 🙄

[legion]

I'm hearing the News here in the UK about the deadly situation at the American yearly Burning Man Festival. 

 

It's been declared as a "National Emergency" due to unusual heavy rain. 

 

"One dead" - but no reason given. 

At a guess with over 70,000 people gathering to party hard, it wasn't the climate (or the rain) that killed them. 

 

The road in and out has been blocked by the 'Authorities', so attendees are stuck there waiting for the mud to dry out a little before being allowed to safely drive out. Exiting on foot is still an option as it's about a 6 mile walk to the nearest highway. 

 

Normally it's hot and sunny, so it is very unusual but from the video you'll see below, far from an emergency and far from deadly. 

 

Judson Graham is a Paragliding / Paramotoring instructor / adventurer that I have been following for over 2 years. He finished building his magnificent bus about a month before the festival. 

He films a lot of aspects of his life for his channel. If you're into flying, I recommend it. 

 

This is the first footage from inside the festival that I've seen. 

 

The mood inside appears to be calm and pleasant. No-one seems to have run out of food or water. People are laughing at the announcement of the "National Emergency".
