Date de diffusion: Juil 07, 2020

At around 1:50pm on the 27th of September 1986 more than a million helium-filled balloons were released from a public square in Cleveland, Ohio, as a fundraising publicity stunt. While the launch itself was successful, the wind blew the mass of balloons in an unexpected direction, resulting in utter chaos: millions of dollars of property damage, many injuries, and possible even two deaths were the result.
