Burning Man 2011 - Trojan Horse burn - the final moments

The Trojan Horse - a 6,500-pound wooden sculpture - burns and then collapses to applause from the burners and mutant vehicles surrounding it. This was shot from the roof of XyloVan / JANUS, our mutant vehicle ( xylovan.com )

Good work. The Trojan Horse project is making a film of the procession and burn. May we include your footage? please send us your contact info at trojanhorse2011

In the subject just say Burn Film, and we'll figure it out. Thanks!!!

@crdbdscsr Not sure what contact point for "trojanhorse2011" would be, but hey - permission granted - just drop me a credit where appropriate.

Yow. We sat around camp debating that figure, and decided there's no way something 30 tons could be towed across the playa and decided 5,600 pounds sounded more correct. Looks like we were wrong. Kudos!

it was a 30 ton (60,000 pound sculpture). I know, I helped build in both Oakland and on the Playa.
