"Tiny Mistake" With Balloons Causes Massive Disaster

In all fairness the Balloonfest of '86 was in no way one of those tiny mistakes. It was a historical fail. What did they think would happen when they went ahead and released a record number of balloons into the atmosphere? Obviously things like gnarly traffic jams and an interference with air traffic were going to result from this mindless move. Must've looked cool for a hot second before everything basically came undone.
