When Chris Rock and Diplo are at your event it’s no long counter-culture…..

[markeldridge]

They briefed the president? Wish they woulda had the same urgency with Hawaii

I live nearby, we see odd people driving by all week. Their event is in a dry lakebed, they’ve just been lucky all these years.

Another Woodstock, hippies drowning in the mud living in filth, the same old story

A man was going to plug in his generator and got electrocuted. It was a real danger, as cords were submerged/otherwise got wet.

If you travel to an event in the middle of the desert with 10s of thousands of others you have to expect calamity.

They haven't learned a thing from Woodstock 😂

Where are the missing unaccounted for children of Lahaina?

Pretty sad that the White House is more concerned about party-goers stuck in the mud instead of the lives and property lost in Maui.

As someone raised in the country seeing the small amount of mud I'm scratching my head going seriously no one has a truck made to go off-road not even just a little bit.

The rain is probably the first shower that many of these attendees have gotten.

[gah.....]

Imagine standing in a pit of mud as your covered in poo and pee while frying balls and screaming at the matrix.

This is soooo great, as a local I say go away and never come back.

[Drewzker]

The fatality was almost certainly an overdose. Yes, there are lots of drugs and OD's at Burning Man every year.

About 8000 people die in the US every single day. So when you have 70, 000 people in the same area for that many days, just by the odds somebody's number was Bound to come up.

Burning Man is cursed. If you can't see that then you never will.

All of those people searching for something that they will never find. So sad

[alfonsopayra]

so? what is the result of the investigation? so tired to click videos that DOESN'T TALK ABOUT WHAT THE TITLE SAYS. you just mention "investigation ongoing" damn!!!!

[michaelcharlesthearchangel]

How many of those Burning Man people are the reborn souls of those who died in the Great Flood?

[rabidgoon]

i heard the death was caused by 'bad vibes' and an overall negative attitude. also, the deceased wasn't hugging people long enough at this year's event. he should have sprung for a VIP ticket.

I don't see Burning Man, all I see a whole bunch of Yuppies trying to have an, "experience" at the the expense of Nature. There's a pandemic w/wild fires rn & you want to burn a bunch of sticks on fire? Good job! Also, the last thing they need to be worried about are the porter potties. Either dig a deep enough hole or crap in a plastic bag, tie it up and dispose of it by throwing it at the Yuppies! J/K about that last part. One should NOT throw poop at people, lol!
