Burning Man Burned!

[justnude]

I believe I read yesterday in our local newspaper that the Burning Man was set on fire early by some "nut". Is there anyone out there who has an update on this? I was just wondering what they would do for the ending burn?

According to a local news report the Burning Man was set on fire by some guy playing around with illegal fireworks. (He was arrested and charged with arson and possession of fireworks.) It was reported that up to 85% of the Man was burnt or damaged and had to be torn down and a new but smaller Man was built out of what they could salvage from the first. It won't be as great as planned but they will still be Burning the Man at the end of the celebration.
