That was a LOT of hydrogen. Wonder if they blew out any glass windows.

some one some where is definitely getting in a lot of trouble for this one.


I think it was worth it.



So that's how they keep tricking people into thinking its a UFO....

I'd guess it was a mix of hydrogen and oxygen, or something else like acetylene and oxygen. Just a flammable gas on its own wouldn't explode like that.

They'll have permanent hearing damage.... When they build Mark II, I'd suggest some hearing protection!

that was awesome lol

oh yeah i've done that before with 2part hydrogen and 1 part oxygen it's pretty powerful.

And that's how the greater phoenix area went deaf simultaneously.

at my parties, the fun STARTS with bleeding ears

This is how my uncle blew out his ears. He put in a little too much oxygen and family gatherings are since noticeably louder.

Memories of a 4th of July. The head of the Fire Department thought it would be a great idea to kick off the fireworks with a hydrogen baloon. It was more than they bargained for--blew out the windshield on a city vehicle and damaged the Chief of Police's hearing. He got a little time off, I think, but still has his job. Hasn't tried it again though...

And to think the Hindenburg was much, much larger...

But as people mentioned, this balloon isn't filled with just hydrogen.

I think this is a high school science class. Did you notice the guy in business attire walk by at :30? Also, it's a campus and they counted down to the boom. I'm just guessing.

"Video not found" blocked maybe?
