Nevada's Burning Man Festival turns chaotic; Over 70,000 stranded after heavy rainfall

Tens of thousands of people still remain trapped at the Burning Man festival in the Nevada desert after heavy rains inundated the area and created thick, ankle-deep mud.

The festival has actually descended into chaos with one person dead and thousands stranded at the Nevada desert festival after severe flooding.

The person died during the event but local law enforcement are yet to identify the individual and reveal the suspected cause of death.

The festival has been shrouded in misinformation that the gathering is housing an outbreak of the deadly Ebola virus.

The Burning Man festival spans a week.

This year's event began on August 28 and was scheduled to end on September 4.

The festival attracts nearly 70,000 artists, musicians, and activists for a mix of wilderness camping and avant-garde performances.
