Burning Man attendees are attempting to return home after being stuck in a muddy and challenging environment for several days. Burning Man is an annual music and art festival held in the northern Nevada desert known as Black Rock City.
Reports indicate that this year’s event was particularly chaotic, earning it the reputation of being one of the wildest festivals of the year.
Accounts from participants detail a variety of activities including whippings by a dominatrix priestess, circle jerks, cock fights, and orgies.
Then the heavens opened up and drenched the festival with 3 months’ worth of rain in 24 hours trapping 73,000 people on the playa.
Furthermore, the camp was fraught with tension as unfounded rumors of an Ebola outbreak circulated.
To make matters worse, a putrid smell had pervaded the area as a result of full porta-potties.
“The hardest thing will certainly be bathrooms filling up,” one attendee told the Washington Post. “I’ve heard some are definitely getting really gross.”
Attendees, similar to crabs in a bucket, grew hostile towards each other as some tried to exit the muddy conditions.
One Burner nearly became a casualty while attempting to deter people from departing.
The environmentalists were against any vehicular transit through the muddy playa.
