The structure and 2{alpha}+2p breakup of {sup 10}C, the only known Brunnian nucleus, has been studied at 33.3 MeV/nucleon. The breakup kinematics were used to reconstruct the {sup 10}C {yields} {sup 9}B +p,{sup 9}B {yields} {sup 8}Be +p,{sup 8}Be {yields}{alpha}+{alpha} and {sup 10}C {yields} {sup 6}Be +{alpha},{sup 6}Be {yields} {sup 5}Li +p,{sup 5}Li {yields}{alpha}+p decay paths. Proton emission was seen to be favored. The decay of excited states at E{sub x}=4.20,5.31, and 6.74 MeV was observed. The previously unobserved state at 4.20 MeV may correspond to a J{sup {pi}}=0{sup +}{alpha}+2p+{alpha} cluster structure.
