Attendees of the legendary Burning Man festival were in for an unforgettable experience this year, more than 70,000 people are stuck in a muddy swamp after unforeseen storms brought flooding and chaos to the Nevada desert.
The nine-day festival, held in Black Rock City, was thrown into disarray when storms brought rain to the usually dry and dusty grounds. This meant festival goers has been unable to leave as their vehicles became stranded in the mud, with not enough working toilets or supplies on-site, the situation quickly descended into a state of emergency.
The Burning Man ritual, which ends with the burning of an effigy of a man, was postponed until Monday to allow the conditions to improve. Event organizers have also arranged buses to take attendees to the nearest city, Reno, located nearly 200 kilometers away, in a bid to alleviate the chaos and help festival-goers safely depart the site at the end of the Labor Day weekend.
President Joe Biden was alerted to the situation and the death. He reported on Sunday that White House officials were concentrated on providing aid and support to those involved in the chaos.
Despite the disruption, attendees appear to have taken the mishap in good spirits, with some embracing the mess and dancing in the rain.
