n 1986, Cleveland tried to set a world record — releasing one and a half million balloons for charity. It was meant to show hope for a struggling city. Instead, a sudden storm turned it into chaos. Highways closed, airports shut down, and Lake Erie disappeared under a sea of drifting balloons. Rescue teams searching for two missing fishermen couldn’t see through the mess — both were later found dead. It was called Balloonfest ’86. One of the most unforgettable stunts in American history. #EchoVe
