Oh thanks for telling me, I was just about to release 1.5 million balloons really quick.
Endertastic lolllllllll
What are you going to do with them now?
Thats not funny dickwad,,, people died because of it,,, I guess you think that's funny too????
@@tobor8115 lol
Tom H it’s not the balloons fault they capsized their boat...
All of that waste for a "we feel good about ourselves ...we're making memories" moment.
Waste of money, manhours, helium, plastic, response resources, cleanup effort. Environmental damage. A travesty in every respect.
Not to mention the hideous sound track! Stop trying to impress and just show the event!
@Mmm 333 they all look like christians to me heck yes.. satanists usually too busy having fun ritual orgy fucking somewhere to do stupid shit like this
But cool as h-ll to watch!
@@isbestlizard Where are these orgy's?
Waste of money and time
Is wonder if the same idiots that blew up the balloons were the ones who had to spent lots of time picking up balloon trash for the next 14 months?
If they all got burst at the same time, then the whole city would sound cartoonish.
You should have way more ups and comments for that.
Well the way they scream trump is a natzi in there native tounge isn't the baloonze fault.
@@treverdavis5881 what? You sound like a whole ass clown.
Legends says the balloons are still floating...
1.5 balloons 1.5 million views😂
Edit: now 2.6m+😂😂
Yeees lol
Viewers are balloons.
They came to invade xd.

Troll 101
If you had even the faintest modicum of intelligence you would readily identify, the equality between stupidity (ignorance at a self-inflicted scale) and Autism. They're one in the same. Autism is a fabrication caused by laziness; the lack of drive to become educated, regardless of detrimental costs. It has been so ingrained into modern society that Autism is acceptable, that a lie has been forged into a full blown disease. However, there is a cure for it, and it includes public executions, and declaring stupidity, and Autism, both as crimes against humanity.
This is why your comment is so terrible, because it literally does nothing for the benefit of Humanity. You have expressed only ignorance, childishness, and the inability to exercise abstract thought. If I had any power in this world, your last two comments would have been enough to execute you on public television for crimes against humanity. You're a parasite. That is the absolute worst possible thing I can think to call you. You're. A. Fucking. Parasite.
au·tism
/ˈôˌtizəm/Submit
noun
a mental condition, present from early childhood, characterized by difficulty in communicating and forming relationships with other people and in using language and abstract concepts.
@Lord Kythric clearly you don’t know what autism is
@@lordkrythic6246 Your an idiot ,I suggest you go to a nursing facility and meet some low and high functioning people with Autism. The spectrum is real some even bite and hit themselves to the point of needing surgery and yet they do it weather people are around or not as they are in no way "Faking" a disorder. Shame on you and I pity your hate and your lack of empathy for those who are less fortunate.
This could also be the biggest waste of helium ever.
How do you waste helium? It's extremely abundant.
No, helium is very abundant. Study Fracking.
Helium is not in as abundant as other elements on Earth and it takes a while for it replenish. If you have to mine it out of the Earth itself, than it already takes a bit of effort to get. Unlike hydrogen, where you can use electrolysis to separate it from water. Also, this is a waste; that helium could have been used for other things than a publicity stunt.
I agree that the stunt was unnecessary, but I disagree that helium is not abundant in 2018.
Again, you have to mine helium. That's man and machine power. It also needs to be separated from other gases, which is more machine power. And it probably isn't the majority of gas that is pulled out of natural gas wells or gas rich areas. It's also inert, so natural pockets of helium eventually leak out into the atmosphere and becomes noncollectable.
_The question is.._
*_Who actually count all of those baloon?_*
Foolate foolate count karte rahe
are u dumb?
They bought 1.5 million balloons and filled them.
They used multiplication to "count" the balloons

I'm wondering at what point the people of Cleveland realised that this hadn't been the greatest idea. Was it when they heard the news that the two people in the boat had died because the emergency services couldn't get to them, or did they realise before this? Were flights into the city's airport affected?
Totally @chrisfk63 And further IG-N-🐜, in some coverage, they interview the organizers, the mayor, the local news, et al. All saying "we'd just assumed they'd all end up in Canada" 🙄 Like.🤔 Damn! Humans live there too, ya crazies...😑

I can't imagine how shitty the organizers felt once this seemingly fun balloon time went all sorts of south.

Yes you are an environmentalist, and please quit lying. I knew you had to be an environmentalist, with your broad knowledge and spot on comment. What's up, environmentalist?
Massive plastic pollution 👎
one of those events if you missed it the day it happened you never heard about it. but here it is on Utube 30 years later.
Environmental disaster. This thing can even bring down a 747
Marian Osei. And just read all the idiots here that are CLUELESS about the millions of animals that die from Balloon releases.
I wonder if that amount of balloons would be enough to carry someone to skies
Im pretty sure it can, maybe even a whole family tbh.
It doesn't take someone with an engineering degree to know that this is an EXTREMELY bad idea. Who approved this release?
The Ohio State university?
Bill Nye.
gedstrom
Sounds like something a woman would do
film crew had no problem flying...
I didn't read anything about the coast guard not being able to fly in the rescue effort. The storm happened the night before the event, and the balloons made it hard for search and rescue to take place well after the accident. I personally feel like these two people died in the middle of the night or early morning before the event. I think it's hard to blame this for the death of two people.
same here.
Imagine they all pop at the same time and people think a war is happening
People were happy but I guess Mother Earth was sad of this
Pollution, pollution.. waste of helium and balloons.
Inexplicable mass insanity.
it was Cleveland, after all
Just one of the many reasons that Cleveland is known as “The Mistake By The Lake “.
Lol i was thinking something similar. "only in Cleveland" was my thought.

@@michaelhilliard535 best line in TV sit com history.
Oh the humanity!
I guess in 1986 they hadn't heard of plastic pollution then?
Oh but they had! In 1976 a ton of elementary schools did the same thing, red, white & blue balloons with a little post card of the students address (yes my home address) all released at once, they ended up in all kinds of unwanted places. I never heard of this 1986 ordeal, it looks weird.
I assure you they had, I lived through that era, and everyone was talking about pollution and recycling and saving the rainforest even then. I guess people in Cleveland are just fucking idiots. Though I'm not sure how much plastic is in a balloon. I was under the impression they're straight up rubber with no plastic polymers mixed into it.
Cat Hat , balloons are rubber. Not plastic. Man made rubber in balloons will disintegrate in two to three years.
Cat Hat i fucking love balloons

The stupidity of people never ceases to amaze me....
What is more amazing is that this was not something that took one or two people... Hundreds of people must have participated on this one and yet they could not muster enough braincells between all of them to figure out that this was a dumb idea...
@@j3v167 But it looked so neat
Why do you think this was a bad idea hotrod?
You think it's amazing that everyone is stupid except you?
lol
How many other ways can they think of to damage wildlife and the environment, just so people can see something pretty. Unbelievably selfish and ignorant.
"Hurrah" cried the crowd - with squeaky voices.
What a huge environmental disaster!!!
It probably took years to clean
Not really anybody seeing a balloon picked it up other wise nobody cared.
...build a bridge and get over it. This was 30 years ago....gheese...
Justice Warrior All the Balloons ended up in Canada.
I wonder how that affected Canada.
It gave the polar bears something to play with.
gloriatg100 Did they pop them?
Everybody's hatin' on them balloons. Poor things just wanted to get high.
So did the people how released them
So.. my question is, will someone really going to fly away if he/she hold those 1.5 million balloon?
Looks like a beehive when in not released but when is released it looks like a bee
What goes up must come down pollution at its best
What goes up a chimney down, but not down a chimney up?
Hydrogen balloons would have been more exciting.
@steve b 😭😭🤣
Wouldn't it take a flame to set off the balloons??
true haha xD
@steve b it was the Ohio river, which flows into Lake Erie.
I think it was the Cuyahoga River. The Ohio River begins where the Allegheny River and Monongahela River converge in Pittsburgh and the Ohio drains into the Mississippi River near Cairo, Illinois.
Thanks I'll keep it in mind next time I feel the urge to release exactly 1.5 million balloons.
While today we have a different perspective on pollution, back in the 80s, the view on pollution was completely different. And yet, we still buy and distribute plastic water bottles and import plastic toys for children...
Apparently they never heard 99 luftballoons...
How did they get permission from the local airports to do that, or did they even bother asking? No doubt that would mess with the flight patterns.
Like a gigantic infusion of trash into the environment. If I dumped that much stuff on the side of the road, I'd probably be in jail pretty quickly.
Actually funny story they didn't get permission or even let them know so a massive blob showed up on the radars and the controllers basically flipped out and all the planes were grounded for like 2 hours. I'm a radar technician for the FAA and they tell the story of this in the classes.
LamazeMe well radars can pick up flocks of birds and clouds (they mostly filter them out) but that had to be massive so aliens???? The apocalypse???? If it was me I would have been like 'Well I'm taking leave for the rest of the day' hopefully before anyone thought to stop me lol
D Cow So the controllers didn't see it on the news in the days before hand? I'm just having a hard time wrapping my brain around that.
This is the 80s. Pre-9/11. Doubt regulations were as tight and upkept as they are nowadays.
Suddenly I'm craving Wonder Bread.

1986 was after that German song came out in English... I guess it could have been worse. They started a nuclear war with just 99 balloons.
I remember when this happened. Though I didn't realize it was that long ago. I just remember how pissed off everyone was.
Eric Taylor 99 Luftballons by German singer Nena..
I had to listen to that song in German my German class. "99 Luftballons" A bit old, but not a bad song!
I know what it's called.
Clarinet Catato You know, I heard the song when it came out, first in English, then later in German. Do you know how long I spent thing "Luft" meant "red"?
Why didn't they think about the ignorance of American teens? I should sue Nena.
Eric Taylor it was a top hit on the Billboard, MTV and German charts for six weeks. Did you know that.
Know we know why there is a helium shortage.
Damn all that Helium could have formed a star 😂
Lily Best lol. But I am gonna say that most stars form from hydrogen, not helium, but your joke was funny.
Teague Wessel yup it starts of with Hydrogen and then as it becomes hot Helium and energy are produced
1.5 million is halfway making a helium star

Well, no they aren't, 1.5 million chunks of latex rubber floating on the water, fish will eat it, animals will eat it, etc. It wasn't a good idea, and the person that thought it up, and the person that approved it, were hopefully fired, and made to clean up all that rubber.
@@816taylor - plus the helium they are filled with - 24 times more potent a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide! This should never happen again!
They claimed the balloons were biodegradable...
...but they were not.
What were they made of?
+@@kirbylee57
Well, common latex, i guess. The weather ruined their plans that the balloons could disperse over the largest area possible.
A group of them went cover some portion of a lake (i'm not sure about this, it may not be a lake) and stood there for a while, before being removed.
Why bother take a lot of boats, going there and remove the balloons, instead of watching them beautifully deflate and dissolve in the water?
Petroleum oil. Latex, plastic bottles, bags etc. All that stuff floating around in the ocean.
KazooK1916 NOT biodegradable. At all.
And there so concerned about global warming and the ozone so.............they do this. Wtf
lose the music.
And the stupid dissapearing font.
And lose the spacing. It took 5 minutes to say "in 1986, we released 1.5 million balloons into the sky, thinking it was cool. Instead, the weather caused the balloons to do lots of uncool things. 2 people died"
It’s by trap nation
@@ashortabout9849 what is the title of the music?
It amazes me that people can release balloons into the air, at weddings and birthdays and the like, yet if I drop half a balloon worth of rubber on the floor I get a fine for littering.
And here's why there is a helium shortage in the world.
Yup

So glad a non profit organization takes it's efforts doing this instead of actually helping people. Wouldn't want to actually solve problems, no money to make in that.
I bet they weren't biodegradable balloons either.... what a massive ecological disaster
Hopefully the EPA hit them with a million plus dollar fine. No dollar amount can reverse the negative impact this has had on the environment or animal life on land and sea.
As God is my witness...I thought turkeys could fly!

Interesting quote.
weldrocks aint that the damn truth.
Lives were lost that day but it's okay because a new record was set, right?
ricky dona yes
absolutely
I guess everything has a price. It seems a high price to pay but we are talking about a region that calls their school, "The" Ohio State.
This is a joke, right?
ricky dona i fucking love balloons
imagine dying because the day your put in danger is the day the city wants to release 1.5 million balloons
This is also why there is no category of world records for this anymore.
These dumb people amaze me but it’s bad for life and living things
AAAAH IM BEING ATTACKED BY *small rubber pieces*
Fact: All 1.5 million balloons that where released popped just about a little centimeters before reaching through the empty vacuum of space because of our atmosphere
I will never ever release 1million balloons. Can't afford it. Lol
Shame they weren't filled with hydrogen
This is why there’s a helium shortage
Marcy Hickman If I remember right helium used in balloons can't be used for serious purposes. It is not "first" class stuff.
The Helium shortages as of late are caused by a market over reaction. The US government stockpiled Helium during the interwar period. A few years back the US government decided to start sell the stockpile, but companies overreacted and cut back production way too much. Helium prices are probably going to fluctuate until the US government stops selling, or runs out of helium to sell.
helium is one of the most abundant elements on and off the planet 3rd grade since
Lmao this isn't why there is a helium shortage
Ricky spanish it was a feckin joke god damn
I think everyone knew it was a bad idea but wanted to see what would happened
With this balloons logic fireworks should also be illegal. It prevents rescue mission. The helicopter pilot would say, "Its like getting shoot by constant blinding light bomb while flying".
Why was the news helicopter taking the footage able to fly through it but the coast guard wasn't?
I mean both of them did, but the coast guard was in a hurry so they were unaccomplished in their mission to reach the boat
And yet no answer from eternal moron accolade
The news helicopter took their images before the balloons spread. The Coast Guard helicopter was trying to find people in the water, but couldn't because of all the floating balloons.
Nice try Dwight..."tragically two people died when coast guard helicopters were unable to reach their overturned boat. They simply couldn't fly in the skies filled with 1.5 million balloons".
3:57...the news helicopter is literally in the middle of the balloons....so try again.
Consequences, there are always consequences.
nemo227 yea everything we did has a ending

Coast guard couldn’t fly thought the balloons thens shortly switches to a helicopter shot inside the ballon mess in the city. You tryna tell me the coast guard is afraid of balloons?
I would ask if they had been doing some helium when they came up with this idea but this is a very common tradition that goes back many years. I was at a church that released several hundred balloons all at once and then, later, , in my school we each got a balloon to release along with a postpaid card so whoever found it could report where they found it. One was found several hundred miles away in Oregon.
I've always wondered about the potential for liability should the balloon come down in the wrong place.
This isn't quite the issue I imagined as a kid, but it shows that there can be unintended consequences.
This was almost 20 years ago, the small church school my kids attended did that just as a big Atlantic low moved onshore and headed northwest. This was in Florida a few miles west of St. Augustine. A week later my son got a letter from an Amish kid in Ohio who attended his church's school. The boy's father was a farmer, as was I. The whole thing was sort of surreal.
@@daddio7249 That's a cute story, I like it.
If 99 luftballons caused war to start, then 1.5 million should cause at least a rough bar fight.
The title should be
"This is what happened when 1.5 million balloons were released at once".
