In 1986, organizers with United Way of Cleveland thought they had the perfect idea to generate a little publicity and create a beautiful spectacle in the process. With a crowd of volunteers working all hours, they filled 1.5 million helium balloons, and released them all at once. Unfortunately, they had no idea the terrible consequences they would unleash by doing so, and their tragic mistake led to the deaths of two people and millions of dollars in damages through lawsuits.
Balloons took over the sky and were poured all over the city by fast winds blowing that day. Two people died when coast guard helicopters couldn't reach their overturned boat due to balloons in the sky.
Below are some pictures taken on that day.
