Burning Man Festival Turns Deadly, Only Looking To Get Worse For Over 70,000 Attendants - 'People May Start Getting More Desperate'

The Burning Man music and arts festival is quickly becoming the latest liberal catastrophe as reports of death have come out while thousands of attendees are trapped and forced into “survival mode” following a massive downpour that turned the Nevada desert into a massive mud pit. 

The festival was officially closed down on Saturday following the dangerous weather that came from the remnants of Hurricane Hilary, according to the New York Post. The 73,000 people attending the event were told to shelter in place while those who were heading to it were told to “turn around and head home” by the Bureau of Land Management, the agency that manages the land where the event is being held. 

A report from KNSD details the death that occurred at the festival, which was confirmed to have happened “during this rain event.” The sheriff's office failed to provide any major details, saying, "As this death is still under investigation, there is no further information available at this time."

Things may only be getting worse for the counterculture event as officials are saying, “More rain is expected over the next few days and conditions are not expected to improve enough to allow vehicles to enter the playa.”

The organizers for the event are attempting to rally attendees together, encouraging people to be conservative with their food and water as they are not sure how long it will last. They have also banned vehicles from roads, leading to participants having to shelter in the night in tents and RVs. 

A doctor in the area is also saying that things are only looking to get worse, saying, “If it rains again, which is going to prevent people from being able to use their vehicles for another three to four days, people are gonna get stranded there, and there’s gonna be a resource crunch.”

They are also warning that numerous diseases are spreading around the event, likely to get worse as “The port-a-potties are probably going to start overflowing, and that’s gonna mix with the mud and the rain, and it’s going to possibly spread infectious diseases.”

“As the days go on, and people realize that they’re not going to have enough water to do dishes with, there’s going to be a lot more sanitation issues and hygiene issues,” he added. “And so I think people may start getting a little bit more desperate, and we may start seeing people getting sick if they don’t find a way of getting out of there fast.”
