The Story of Balloonfest '86 | A Short Documentary | Fascinating Horror

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.

I tell the true stories behind some of history's greatest disasters... but without sensationalism or disturbing imagery. Fascinating Horror is all about in-depth research, respectful storytelling, and learning what we can from the mistakes of the past. You might be surprised to discover just how much of today's world is shaped by long-forgotten disasters from decades gone by.

Music: "Glass Pond" by Public Memory
