Was this a prank or a terrorist attack or just plain incompetence? Who would use hydrogen to fill balloons for decoration at a public event?

I don’t know, I’d want to say this was intentional, since why would someone fill ballons with a flamable gas when inert Helium will do the same effect.

However I just don’t know.

Great. Anyone read comments at the link? I normally don’t read YouTube comments, because I have found the people who post comments on YouTube have serious intellectual deficiencies, but even that was pretty low.

Seems to be a gap in the video - what was the ignition source?

Shouldn’t the normal Armenian response be to blame the Turks?

There is always somebody looking to shave a buck off his overhead. But I always wondered why instead of using expensive helium in weather balloons we didn’t use cheap and plentiful hydrogen.
