So much for no litter left-behind! Burning Man's 747 plane is STILL in Nevada desert two weeks after the festival ended
A 747 airplane that was a main attraction at this year's Burning Man is still in the Nevada desert - two weeks after the festival ended. One of the main rules for Burning Man's 80,000 attendees is to 'leave no trace' at the site after the week-long event ends. (www.dailymail.co.uk) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Take it out the same way it came in.
the bureau of land management should really push the sponsors and whomever runs that "festival",to get the remnants of that aircraft into a storage facility as promised..moving it 12 miles from its original location and leaving it there is hardly cleaning up..this yearly event has been around for a while, but it does require permits,etcetera,and i agree with jim myers on this..
The BLM required them to get a permit before moving it to its permanent site. Apparently the requirement for this permit was not communicated to the organizers of the 747 display in advance. Something should be happening today or over the weekend.
It's not abandoned.
It's not abandoned.
If you've ever checked out the photos before and after Burning Man, they leave the place immaculate and start from absolute scratch the next year. This is an anomaly, and from the sound of it, one that is being corrected. The vitriol on the Daily Mail site was unbelievable. I commend this membership for at least being civil with your critical comments.
One has to qualify who 'they' are. Much is made of the 'leave no trace' ethos but it takes a dedicated group to clean up all the carp discarded by the less responsible participants. It's not just limited to the playa, Stuff, like trailers and RVs, get left by the wayside on the roads.

Lift it out with a giant airship. You only need to lift it a few feet off the ground to move it 12 miles. Then drag it with horses. A fitting end to an epic burning man prop.
Just because you lift it with an airship and make it weightless, you have not rendered it with out mass and therefore momentum. Also consider the windage.
