A 14-year-old girl was treated for burns Saturday after a malfunctioning e-cigarette shot a "fireball" on the Hogwarts Express train at Universal Orlando in Florida, the Orlando Sentinel reports.

She was taking the ride between Universal Studios and the Islands of Adventure park with her family when the device exploded at around 3:30 p.m. local time, police told the paper.

The e-cigarette was in the pocket of a man traveling with friends on the train. It blew up and caused a small explosion that left him with injuries to his leg.

"It was just a weird, freak accident that unfortunately caused injuries to two people," police Lt. Dan Brady said. "It wasn't a big explosion but was definitely enough to scare everyone who was in that cab of the train." Read more...

  You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention.
  But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.
