was stashed away under the man. [photo Glenn]
|
Then it's time for Crude Awakening
to come down.
|
We're hundreds of feet back,
when an amazing fireworks show begins on the ground.

"Diet Coke & Mentos"
inspired fireworks [Video, 20.5M]
|
A shower of fireworks,
and the rig is set on fire. [Video, 18.8M]
|
The most awesome fireball
I have ever seen, thanks to Nate Smith. (400 gallons at once?) [Video, 39.9M]

|
|
|
The rig burns with tons of propane.
|
And then the rig
burns hard from a massive propane torch that last for a few minutes. 2000 gallons propane and 900 gallons of jet fuel create a 2.4GW blast [Video, .7M]
|
The fire calms down,
moments before the rig falls.
|
And the tower finally falls.
[Video, 33.8M]

|
The tower down,
and the crowd is released.
|
The statues across the fire.
|
Watching the flames.
|
Dana's shade structure
barely survived the wind storms a second year. Note to virgins: Don't bring lightweight shade structures!

|
|
I douse the frontage sign with gas.
|
And into the fire!
Goodbye U.S.D.A.
