Black Rock, Nev (Routers) Air Force spokeswoman Jane Denning apologized for the accidental detonation of a fuel-air munition above the "Burning Man" campgrounds, blaming the error on outdated National Imagery and Mapping Agency maps that showed the area as part of an active nearby bombing range. Bureau of Land Management rangers on the scene said there were no survivors. Department of Justice spokesman Louis Slaveh said that although there will be no compensation from the government, officials are taking steps to see that this doesn't happen again. A DEA official on the scene commented "We should have thought of this earlier."
