In 1986, Cleveland, USA, hosted a massive event where 1.5 million balloons were released into the sky. What was meant to be a fun spectacle quickly turned into a disaster when a sudden storm pushed all the balloons back over the city! From disrupting air traffic to blocking water systems and even leading to two tragic deaths, this event remains one of the most bizarre environmental accidents in history. The Balloonfest of 1986 was a beautiful idea gone horribly wrong. #balloons #disasters #usa #
