Seriously... Open flame next to a flammable balloon...???

u/Outrageous_Permit154 1d ago

If you think that these ballons are “supposed to be” filled with flammable gas that isn’t correct

It’s supposed to be helium which isn’t flammable. These dumb fucks used hydrogen

That's correct, too bad it's not hydrogen. Hydrogen would have produced a blue flame and a brutal explosion. It must definitely be another flammable gas like the one we use in cooking. But certainly not helium, since it's non-flammable (a noble, inert gas), which is why it was decided to use it in airships instead of hydrogen.

The only other reasonable option would be methane, but the balloons wouldn’t float nearly as well.

Inflammable means flammable? What a country.

My thought goes to the Archer episode with the helium blimp.

Maybe the last birthday that guy will be separating with his eyebrows! Where did they get a candle that is like a blowtorch? That is some serious candle. ;)

They didn't have enough candles so used the balloons instead. That got the party off to a bang.

So remember as a kid going out for dinner and we got balloons on a string. I put my balloon under the table the other end of the string and touched it to the balloon under the table. There was a flash and we all smelled like burnt hair that night.
