Don't wait until someone else misuses your data—protect yourself now n the middle of Nevada's Black Rock Desert stands a geyser that looks like it dripped out of another planet, with brilliant reds, greens, and golds streaming down a mound of mineral rock. But it isn't natural. The Fly Geyser was born from a 1964 geothermal test well that drillers abandoned the moment it proved unprofitable. When their cheap cap failed under the desert's relentless pressure, scalding water began erupting skyward and never stopped, stacking layer after layer into an alien tower. For more than fifty years the land around it was off-limits, fenced and camera-watched by owners terrified of lawsuits. This episode traces how a forgotten industrial accident became one of America's most surreal landmarks, from the deadly pioneer "Death Route" of the Gold Rush, to the lawless early days of Burning Man, to the $6.5 million purchase that finally turned the geyser into a protected sanctuary. #ItsHistory #FlyGeyser #Nevada Support the Channel by becoming a member 👉    / @itshistory   Request an episode here 👉 https://forms.gle/siuafjjyP8iHjQ2MA IT’S HISTORY - Weekly Tales of American Urban Decay as presented by your host Ryan Socash.    • IT'S HISTORY 🔥 Trending   » Subscribe:    / @itshistory   » Listen podcasts: https://ffm.bio/itshistory » CONTACT For brands, agencies, and sponsorships: [email protected] Click here to book a sponsorship with me http://thoughtleaders.io/reserve/its-... » DISCLAIMER Some media elements in this video are used under the fair use provisions of U.S. copyright law (Title 17, Section 107) for purposes of commentary, criticism, and education.
