Festival goals,
The purpose of the festival was to organize a home for the homeless. For
this, he was collecting donations.
The second goal was to fly two million balloons simultaneously.
And the name of the event was to be
listed in the Guinness book of world records.
The United Way Company had allocated $
500,000 for this work.
And all over the city came to Center
Square Park to see the festival.
And besides, the citizens were busy
in its preparation. A Three-story building as neat as a structure was built to store
two million balloons in downtown Center Square Park.
The city's 25,000 volunteers or ordinary
people sat for a night and a day at Center Square Park and gasped in balloons. These people joined the festival
voluntarily.
And his job, too, was to fill the
balloon with helium gas and collect it underneath the Net. On September 26, that balloon was
supposed to be released into the air.

So in the afternoon, when only 1.5 a million balloons were ready, the clouds were roaring. And the light rain had begun.
There were dark clouds over the sky.
And the colorful balloons in the
background of the clouds provide a beautiful view. But no one knew what the risk of sharing
a gas balloon and this season could be.
Because it was
going to happen for the first time. Never before had such a large number of Balloons
been flown
And then at one o'clock fifteen minutes of the day, the net was opened. And 1.5 million Balloons fly towards the sky.
When the 1.5 million colored balloons
flew into the air, the view was a big surprise. Millions of people were enjoying the
spectacular view.
And the sky was also colored by these
nude balloons. But this scene was only for a few moments.
It was thought that fifteen million
balloons would fly into the air and disappear into the sky.
But suddenly the storm started to rain
and with the rain and wind, all the balloons returned to the city. We all know that helium is lighter than
air.
Therefore, when helium gas is filled in the Balloon.
So it rises upward in the air because of
the lightness of this gas.
But because of the strong rain and
stormy winds, the balloon could not reach the sky. And they came back into the city and
scattered everywhere.
And shortly the city's railway station,
the road, and the streets were filled with colorful balloons and in some narrow passages, the mountain
of the balloon had become.
Streams drain and all open spaces were
filled with colorful balloons.
They continued to jam traffic on Balloon
Road and caused many accidents. As a result, many people were injured
and the property was damaged.
The city's airport was closed soon after
seeing these conditions. And domestic and foreign flights were
canceled.
Thus, the city's system was shaken for
several weeks, and the responsibility of the United Way Charity became. And the company also had to pay a woman
$ 2.3 million.
Because the woman's husband and his friend were catching fish in Lake "Lake Erie".
That his boat was hit by an accident.
The rescue team had arrived in time to rescue them.
But the whole lake was filled with
colorful balloons. This made it difficult for the rescue
team to see them both in the water.
And despite the rescue team not
receiving timely help, the two men were drowned. So the Cleveland court ordered the United Way Charity to
pay the woman two points three million dollars.
