The ground of the ‘Burning Man’ event was heating up a few days ago with the rumors of an Ebola outbreak. People were rambling about how things are messy. Few took it far by creating a nuisance and editing fake news confirmation by the government.
But reality was far away. It turns out the ground was hit by heavy rain and had to stop the festival. Seems like the place is in the news again, but for what now? Let’s get into it!
On September 4, 2023, a video of Ram TRX started going viral on X (formerly known as Twitter). The video showed how the Ram 1500 TRX kept going in an attempt to cross the muddy ground in the Burning Man. The driver seemed unbothered by the possibilities of worse, and the clip has over 3 million views, with people commenting it as an “excellent truck advertisement.”
Quick Check on the Burning Man
Every year the Burning Man festival takes place in Black Rock City of Black Rock Desert, Pershing County, Nevada, US. The festival is a nine-day-long event that includes cultural and artistic activities. For the past 37 years, the event has recorded new possibilities each time. For 2023, it was recorded for destruction by rain and rumors.
The ground was hit by heavy rain, which caused traffic and disturbance for the attendees as well. Authorities took the initiative not to hold it further, yet many people reached the venue without fact-checking.
But the situation got worse when people at the venue started a rumor about an Ebola outbreak at the venue. Eventually, the misunderstanding was resolved, but the weather at the Burning Man venue remained problematic. Things were never messy like this.
Why Is “Burning Man” Trending Again?
A video by the user named ‘brendanmcogbill’ on X (formerly known as Twitter) was shared on 4th September 2023. The video was just a highlight of the Burning Man’s grounds, all muddy and wet. This video made people laugh and left them amused for the whole day. In the video, a Ram 1500 TRX was fiercely trying to make its way out of the grounds. People were amazed by the driver’s unbothered expression.
The user captioned the video, saying, “I got this video yesterday of this TRX putting all that horsepower to good use to escape burning man.” People then went on the platform to see, read, and react to the video.
The user even got in touch with the driver and reported that they made it through the muddy puddle. She captioned –
“UPDATE: The TRX owner reached out! The truck and trailer made it out, just a bit dirty! Confirmed it was a rental, and he showed the renter the video and he thought it was badass! (Considering there was no damage).”
In response, people replied with mixed tones and sentiments. Few were concerned about the chaos left behind, while few were happy that they made it out from the ground.
