«Breaking News» Burning Man's 747 plane is still in the Nevada desert

A 747 airplane that was a main attraction at this year's Burning Man is still in the Nevada desert - two weeks after the festival ended. 

The partially reassembled aircraft currently lies abandoned in the Black Rock Desert after being moved about 12 miles from the Burning Man site. 

One of the main rules for Burning Man's 80,000 attendees is to 'leave no trace' at the site after the week-long event ends. 

The U.S. Bureau of Land Management in Nevada (BLM), who manages Black Rock Desert, said the owners of the 40-foot tall plane need to remove it.

'It was moved off the event site without BLM authorization. So its legal status is in trespass with unauthorized use,' Rudy Evenson of BLM told the Reno Gazette Journal.

'Bottom line is, we're evaluating options for getting rid of it.'

The BLM said the owners, Big Imagination, will need to apply for a new permit to remove the plane because Burning Man has finished.

All art installations that are part of Burning Man are initially covered with a recreation permit but that expired in the days after the festival ended. 

Big Imagination claim they have not abandoned the plane and insist they have a plan to move it to a storage facility nearby. 

They issued a statement on their website in a bid to alleviate concerns that their installation could threaten the future of Burning Man given the main principle of leaving no trace.

The plane, pictured above during the Burning Man festival, was used as an open-air nightclub for festivalgoers during the week-long event

'As a collective of 500+ volunteers who have been working on this since 2014 the last thing we would want to do is to leave behind an ecological disaster on the playa or in any way impact Burning Man from getting their permit,' they said.

'We acknowledge that our exodus plan has not gone as expected and we apologize for any undue stress this has caused to the greater burner community, for the Burning Man Org, and especially the BLM with whom we've always sought good relations and whom we are working closely with to resolve this situation as rapidly as possible. 

'We are working with the BLM to move the plane into its storage location in a manner that is in compliance with the requisite regulations and also in good stewardship of the land.'

The BLM said there was no road between the playa and the private property where the owners were planning to store the aircraft. 

'That's part of the National Conservation Area so you can't build a new road,' Evenson said. 

'I think right now everything is on the table as far as removing it. Obviously our preference would be for the vehicle owners to take care of it.'

Pilot Dustin Mosher spotted the abandoned plane while flying his private plane over the area last week.

'Like a mirage, a 747 appeared in the desert,' he wrote alongside a video of the plane.

The owners, Big Imagination, claim they have not abandoned the plane and insist they have a plan to move it to a storage facility nearby

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
