I'm actually surprised, in a charity organization, no one ever thought the fact that they'd be releasing plastic to the sky and then will end in the sea, no one thought how much pollution this could cause, as if they thought it will not contaminate
People back then are entitled people who can get away with being a bit dumb. After all, a junior high graduate with courier job can build a big house that contain 5 kids inside it and live comfortably (my grandpa story)
I remember this. It filled the air with balloons and it seemed as if there was a black out. Also it was deemed a flight risk many airports in the area had to shut down. More litter had been spread that day then the previous 100 years. I lived through it and remember it.
The amount of Helium the industry consumes is normally way greater than the amount of helium used for party balloons and alike, but when it’s 1,4 million ballons were talking about, I’m not so sure.
Fun Fact: Helium is a waste product of oil industry and this is the only industrial method to gain Helium. It is very light and doesn't react with anything. When you release it into the air it floats up into the very high atmosphere, where it will be eventually all blown away by cosmic radiation into space, never to be seen again. While Helium makes up 25% of all matter in the universe, it is very rare on earth (about as rare as gold in fact). It is only cheap, because it doesn't have much uses, besides filling baloons.
They thought it would go high up and the balloons would burst gradually. Then they would decompose. But the weather changed and the rain brought down the balloons too soon. And they hadn't burst.
Honestly, any *large* "nonprofit" is not a true nonprofit. The good charities are all smaller. These ones use most of their money on publicity stunts like this instead of helping those who truly need it.
Exception: St. Jude's Also, most of the people blowing up balloons were volunteers, and sponsors donated money to pay for the balloons plus a lot more. I agree that expensive publicity stunts for charity are not the way to go though
@@purplefire2834 To be fair, they do spent a lot on marketing considering I've gotten hundreds of St. Jude's ads even though there is nothing I've watched linking it to me. I've volunteered at most of these huge "charities" and they spend more catering to their volunteers over anything else. All the smaller ones find creative ways to keep people engaged though. For example, at larger "nonprofits" they would provide free shirts, free food, etc. and we would barely help anyone. While at smaller charities, we might go on a run in a nature path and have a competition for how much trash we could pick up. Rule of thumb: if you've heard of the "charity" or if you can generally just figure out whether it's large, it's probably pretty inefficient with its money. I would emphasize volunteering at and for local places. (:
Usually when I let a balloon go I watch it take to the skies then I never see it again. They probably assumed they would float away, pop, and be carried away by winds up there

@@darkmansigma4541 For the most part gasses react nearly identically to temperature and pressure changes. This behaviour is encapsulated in the ideal gas law PV=nRT. Gasses deviate from this at high pressures and close to their boiling point, but atmospheric pressure is not that high and for anything that is definitively gasseous regular outside temperatures just aren't that low.
I pretty sure the Joker DID do that in one of the batman comic books. Can't remember which though.
1. Fill it with sarin
2. Supply them unidentified
3. Voila, a terrorist attack!
I love the humor :)
Also, good point made when saying don’t swerve for something lighter than air. My driver ed teacher used to have a saying and it was that she always told us “don’t swerve for a banana peal”.
2:30 Balloons? On the road? The horror! Truly the roads are impossible to use now!
They’re not especially fun when you drive over them and they melt onto your muffler, radiating noxious fumes of burnt rubber into the passenger compartment.
@@ZenFox0 Yep, because everyone drives around with their hood up and a giant funnel that leads right into the muffler on it!
All we need to do is... POP THEM!!
To be honest, ballons on a _wet_ road are not fun at all. Try to hit the breaks and come to a halt when the road is full of wet, slippery rubber.
Slight winds will cause the balloons to fly above sight level and block views

I remember this. I was just a kid, but even then I wondered how anyone could have thought it was a good idea, because even as a kid I knew something as basic as 'what goes up must come down.' Even if it hadn't wound up causing any damage or accidents, that's still a loooot of litter waiting to happen.
Balloons: *going up*

I must say, this is quite a unique channel. I didn’t actually like it that much at first, bit it does stand out from other similar ones (which are mostly US channels). Keep up the good work!

Lets just ignore the fact that all of this plastic probably caused global warming by itself
Aren't they made of rubber?
The_Shitposter does similar damage once released, though the processes to obtain them are vastly different. Also the processes of getting both are super harmful
yeah, sure it wasn't humanity leaving a massive carbon footprint for a whole century, it's one balloon festival!
@@pavleilic7383 dude it was a joke
@@pavleilic7383 No, it's been proven through years of research that balloonfest was the sole cause of global warming, and bacteria adapting to consume the balloons will eventually lower global temperatures.

They used helium, not hydrogen.
Hindenburg was before this.
Helium is nonreactive and harmless (unless you breathe in too much of it).
@@howardbaxter2514 If you do, you simply suffocate. It's like breathing in a vacuum but the vacuum is pressurized.

I can't stop laughing at the footage of that lone red balloon at the end with the the music playing. It was a great video already, but then you gave me second dessert.
