The Great Balloon Disaster of 1986 

For anyone wondering, it happened in Ohio. Actually, I’m not joking.

Think about searching from the air for someone's head bobbing above the water only there's tens of thousands of approximately head sized/shaped objects floating in the water.

Humans gonna human, aka destroy everything it touches

I can explain…

Satisfying sprinkles.

Probably wasted a significant portion of the helium reserves too

They should have check the weather report before doing this type of event.

I remember selling tickets for a balloon release at my elementary school and there was one that made it to Boston wasn't mine though

The reason why Ohio is cursed 💀💀💀

The 1986 Ohio balloon diaster is like the 911 of the 80s.

The Giant's Sprinkles

What’s next, a million hot air balloons in Florida?

"made in ohio" -a 12 yo kid

The boaters were eventually found…Dead 😅

*1.5 million

Sprinkles😍

I’m surprised this didn’t cause another 9/11

This happened in the year of the 🐅🐯

And 1.5M Ballons

Actually it’s 1.5 million ballons

The bloon of 86

Is it weird to say this is my favorite disaster 😅

Netflix looks like Metflix

1.5

I think its supposed to be 1.5 million

One word: Karma

But they were found. DEAD 😵. That was a bit too far

*Litter* left the chat

For those who dont know, this is where ohio became a meme

Actually its 1.5M

11K

they where found dead washed up on the shore

omg i go to lake eire

But why

Cleveland is actually inside in ohio

Fundraiser? Nah. Fund destroyer

Beat the Guinness world record 🤷‍♂️

The boater were eventually found- yaaaay! - dead - oh...

Pennywise really said HI

It's not 1.4 it's 1.5

1987

its from ohio oklahoma:WTF

UM ACTUALLY IT WAS 1.5 NOT 1.4👆🤓

gen alphas should rethink life choices if they make a joke over a tragedy just because it's in ohio

I think people just don't know what to say. In an event as big as this there had been no health and safety pre-report on possible...? no 'risk assesment'? Two deaths is two too many but thank God there were not more. So....stupid....pointless...wrong... ...naïve? 😢

Only in Ohio 💀
