Young people gathering to do psychedelics. Same.

Woodstock did have quite the fire in '99.

If you've come here to roast him for his poor decision making, I'd suggest you are late to the party.

These people are out there for a number of days with absolutely no running water or electricity, living outside in the heat and dust, using five gallon plastic buckets as a head.

The gigantic art is really cool set out in the desert. Too bad the event is full of cosplaying freaks on drugs.

The rumor is yes, in ancient times the burning man involved human sacrifice. However, academics are divided on how prevalent it was. The Romans spread a lot of (dis)information about the native British peoples, in order to justify their conquest.

Watching that video reminds me of all the frat parties going on in college. Perhaps that is what this actually is to these people, a continuation of just getting pzzzz pants drunk n' high and not having a care in the world for a few days. I'd give it about three weeks to a month and we will see just how happy these individuals are when showing up in numbers at the VD clinics.

According to Rolling Stone, the guy had to penetrate two security rings to get to the fire - Burning Man Fest: One Dead, Another in Critical Condition - Rolling Stone

Unless he talked to someone before he did it, it might never be known why.
