And I've seen the tapes of the PEPCON disaster in Henderson, Nevada.

What happens when you have sloppy housekeeping and one barrel amidst 10 million pounds of ammonium perchlorate that catches fire because of a welder too close? KABOOM!

For those of you unaquainted with it, here's the video tape.

I wasn't talking about the videotape I'd seen, I was talking about the seismic trace tapes for that day that measured a 3.1 and a 3.5 in Reno. There's a fire truck heading towards the fire on the tape, and it gets knocked sideways off the road by the shock wave.

When Burningman reproduces something THAT big, then we've done something. 'Cept we'd have to go all the way down to the Smoke Creek Desert to set it off, and I wouldn't want to be a Ranger on THAT safety perimeter.

You know you're burnier than thou when your burning man shed IS your art car, built out of 100% recycled/salvaged material. It is maintained in the off-season by the mechanically inclined burner that lives in it the other 51 weeks of the year. It is 100% powered by the tears of burners who claim that last year's burn was better, and in case of premature ignition its wooden skin can be salvaged an quickly re-assembled into a Backup man for burning.
