Sunday Morning Fireballs

Following the Crude Awakening burn, early Sunday morning, Nate figured we should dispose of the last couple of hundred gallons of AV fuel on his trailer. A group of a ~dozen of us headed out to the CA site around 5:30AM, and cleared out a 250' safety perimeter. Nate filled two tanks with a ~200 gallons of aviation fuel each, pressurized them with propane, and then set them off. Bob Hoffman and I were laying on the playa right below the rings. What a Sunday morning treat for the all-nighters still hanging out at Crude Awakening site.

It wasn't announced; around 5:00AM on Sunday, Nate mentioned he wanted to get rid of his excess fuel, so we rallied the troops, headed over to the site, and set-up what was needed to run a pair of BLEVE tanks.

That would have been awsome if you woke up on time and went outside to see the mushroom cloud rising.
