Balloonfest refers to a popular event where a large number of balloons are released into the sky simultaneously. Balloonfest '86 took place in Cleveland, Ohio. It was organized by the United Way of Cleveland and was intended to be a world record-breaking event. The goal was to release 1.5 million balloons into the sky simultaneously.
However, things didn't go as planned. Due to unexpected weather conditions, the balloons were released prematurely and ended up causing a lot of problems. The balloons drifted into the nearby airport, causing flight disruptions and even forced the airport to shut down temporarily. Additionally, the balloons created environmental issues as they littered the land and waterways.
The event received a lot of criticism afterward, and it serves as a cautionary tale about the potential negative consequences of large-scale balloon releases.
