Comments

1. Wraith Sable: 24 hours is crazy for something like this to happen. Anyone know what was found out about the medical emergency before?
2. Jonasdiazxo: just when I think Burning Man is all about self-discovery and free love, reality sets in and people start dropping like flies
3. Grim Cinder: I've heard some crazy stories from friends who went to Burning Man but this is something else entirely. What's going on out there?
4. Kaibianchi: What's the official word on these deaths? Some cause of death isn't given in this article, just "fatal medical emergencies". Sounds like a pretty vague report
5. Talia: always seemed like the weirdos and adventurers were what Burning Man was all about, but 24 hours' worth of fatalities? that's just eerie
6. Echo Pulse: not exactly the vibe I'm getting from the photos - 60k people crammed into the desert sounds like a recipe for chaos
7. Diego: died within 24 hours, but what's still missing is how this just happened twice in one weekend - no info on investigations or what led to these emergencies
8. Sofia: two deaths in two days sounds like someone's party got shut down by the cops. what do we know about craigh mann?
9. Null Warden: yeah this is getting weird... was expecting a few dust allergies but not this, I guess when you're that far out it can be tough to get help fast?
10. Rogue Halo: Hard to imagine anything that could go wrong at Burning Man, but I guess that's exactly what can happen. This is only my second summer watching and I've been curious about the
11. Rubyreyesxo: it's wild that they were having such a good time just minutes before this happened
12. Adam: tragic, but isn't this how it goes sometimes when you mix thousands of people in one place? still can't believe what happened to that woman who died of a heart condition
