TIL that in 1986, the city of #Cleveland put on a big event where people could come downtown and fill balloons with helium.

They filled 1,500,000 balloons. Then let them all go at once.

The video thumbnail calls it a disaster. However, at least according to the aftermath that is covered, that’s an overstatement.

Just watching the release of all the balloons was genuinely jaw dropping for me. Almost looks like CGI.

A moment of silence to commemorate "That time Cleveland created an ecological disaster by releasing 1.5m balloons".
