There might be a traffic disaster, but if people fuel up and bring a few extra jugs of water and granola bars on the way in, everything will be fine.

- Sendotsh 7y agoYeah this is being compared to Fyre Festival. The difference is Fyre Festival was on an island ill-equipped to handle that many stranded people. This is going to end up more like your typical Internet meetup, just bigger. Lots of people will roadtrip out there, it'll fizzle out or at least be mildly entertaining, then drive home. Only problem I foresee really is traffic, but that's just boredom, not a humanitarian disaster.
- partialrecall 7y agoFyre Festival also involved a significant amount of fraud. I don't think anybody is fraudulently claiming that Area 51 will offer luxury accommodations to visitors.

- JoeAltmaier 7y agoExactly the naïve thinking that gets people hurt. A 'few extra jugs of water" gain you a couple of hours in the desert. What about, stuck on a blacktop road in the desert in the mother of all traffic jams for days? Events as large as this are predicted to be, are not solved by everybody bringing a water bottle from KumNGo.
