Burning Man Temple burn 2010 (World's biggest bonfire)

World's biggest, most emotional bonfire, as viewed by the 50,000 odd participants at Burning man 2010. Short clip of the height of the burn. The small black dots at the bottom are people's heads. You can also see some lamp-posts on the bottom right for scale reference.

8? Surely exodus wouldn't take so long if it was only 8,000 people leaving after the Temple. Anyway, it's academic and really not important. If you need to find out exactly how many people viewed it go ahead. The point is the burn itself, not the statistics.

lol OK SqueakMassacre, if you need it to be totally correct, how many were there do you think?

Ya alot of ppl leave on Sunday after the Man burns. i'd guess maybe an audience of 8k ppl on hand for the temple burn, that's what makes it special.... a different experience than the Man burn.

There were not 50,000 people viewing this. A lot of people left before the temple burn.
