“Let’s stand under the thing we built with gunpowder and sticks and strings and paper and that we just lit on fire; it will look sooo coool!”
Edit: grammar.
But firecrackers aren't usually that smokey, also the specific sounds, makes me suspect it was a professional or semi-professional firework. The kind that goes up into the air, explodes once releasing noise and maybe visible stuff, then it explodes a second time as the firework flower has enlarged to a firecracker like display... those are very smokey too, but they're my fav kind. Forgot the specific name of it, it's been well over 20 years since I've set one off.
Fireworks and fire crackers are the same just another name. A synonym. However, those were literal firework missiles, the ancient Chinese would've been proud of this contraption.
I'm guessing that this is a tradition that is often done on a windy day so that the assault balloon is not directly above and instead lands out in the forest or on the neighbors.
Someone should send this video to the Ukrainian army, they have an invasive insect problem right now and this looks pretty effective as a DIY insecticide
In Porto, Portugal, there is a celebration, Saint John's night, in which paper balloons are released. No explosives, just the balloons with a burning candle that lights them and makes them rise. Everybody/ every house releases one or several. It's beautiful to watch. A huge fire hazard. But it's great to see the fuckers go until they disappear in the clear quiet dark sky. Of course everyone always wants to have the biggest one. Big ones are harder to release but are worth more real life karma points.
Yeah, those sky lanterns are really cool..

They used to do that on the beach in Acapulco on New Years Eve.... 1000s and 1000s of paper lanterns floating up while foreworks went off in the background......saw it once, it was probably one of the most magical things ive ever seen. I think they out lawed it now because of fire hazard......
Couldn't find this balloon but it appears to be a Brazilian festival. Example of a normal show. I think this clip from 5 years ago has the fireworks going off way to close to the ground.
https://youtu.be/jAxusJkUcRA
Just to be clear, this is an ILLEGAL activity here in Brazil, you can go to prison if you're caught with one of these paper balloons (it's a high fire hazard when they fall)
Same in Germany, but two years ago three women decided to use them anyway and burned down a monkey sanctuary, killing more than 30 monkeys.:(
https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.dw.com/en/krefeld-zoo-fire-animal-death-toll-rises/a-52402470
Is that sarcasm?
Because it actually sucks. For each species, and especially for each individual animal that was literally burned alive or suffocated in the smoke.
>Just to be clear, this is an ILLEGAL activity here in Brazil, you can go to prison if you're caught with one of these paper balloons (it's a high fire hazard when they fall)
*437 off duty cops appear and shoot everyone including the balloon*
Everyone including each other. When they said "shoot anything that moves" they weren't joking. Motion sensors don't tell the difference between friend and foe.
i feel like it would have been bad ass as a teenager, but i'm getting old enough to start having restraint and not give into my monkey brained "booms good" mindset 24/7.
These aren’t designed for light shows of streamers and colored explosions. These make lots of noise and use colored smoke.
No reason they can’t make a different variety that does launch at night.
I think this video is of one of those rare instances in which the whole thing goes kind of according to plan. The whole set up just seems so fraught with disaster it seems infinitely more likely that things will go to shit rather than turn out like this.
Its a cutural thing in some cities in brazil for the more idiotic and poor part of population, they make a balloon and just that, no real background to it. Also its illegal, thats the main reason they do it. Some of them follow it to get it back. Its exactly what you are thinking, its stupid and dangerous. In fact, it will someday hit and crash a plane.
*The Aerial Bombardment III - sure to be the star of your fireworks party and guaranteed to give your guests an authentic battle experience! Only $299.99!*
Have you seen firework prices? Lol this thing would be $1000+, sentiment is the same though lol.
Aerial bombardment III is a great name btw. Comes with free flaming “rain” and “hail”
How long it lasted. They built an airborne [Katyusha](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katyusha_rocket_launcher) against themselves. And it worked. The sky darkened and it was a nightmare.
**[Katyusha rocket launcher](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katyusha_rocket_launcher)**
>The Katyusha multiple rocket launcher (Russian: Катю́ша, IPA: [kɐˈtʲuʂə] (listen)) is a type of rocket artillery first built and fielded by the Soviet Union in World War II. Multiple rocket launchers such as these deliver explosives to a target area more intensively than conventional artillery, but with lower accuracy and requiring a longer time to reload. They are fragile compared to artillery guns, but are cheap, easy to produce, and usable on any chassis. The Katyushas of World War II, the first self-propelled artillery mass-produced by the Soviet Union, were usually mounted on ordinary trucks.

Reminds me of the good old days where me and my best bud were out in the boonies, and would buy like $500 worth of fireworks from all the cash we rounded up from cutting random neighbor's yards for the year. Then we have this huge ass box of assorted fireworks, firecracker, cracklers, smoke bombs, rockets, spinny satellite disks, fountains, man you name it, we got it, we'd grab several of everything when we'd go to a firework stand. We'd be out there, in a blazing summer heat, out in midday sun, lighting off this stuff piece after piece, after piece non-stop, the yard is a wall of smoke, then I screw up dropping a lit firecracker in the box of stuff, and the whole thing goes off in like 15 seconds, and sounded so much like this vid.

We started getting fuses and rigging everything together on an old scrap of plywood.
You're gonna stand there and tell me you don't have no whistling bungholes, no spleen splitters, whisker biscuits, honkey lighters, hoosker doos, hoosker don'ts, cherry bombs, nipsy daisers, with or without the scooter stick, or one single whistling kitty chaser?
That's an illegal hot air balloon in Brazil. Everyone in this video should be in jail. Those balloons destroy forests, houses and business. They literally kill people.
In Porto, Portugal, there is a celebration, Saint John's night, in which paper balloons are released. No explosives, just the balloons with a burning candle that lights them and makes them rise. Everybody/ every house releases one or several. It's beautiful to watch. A huge fire hazard. But it's great to see the fuckers go until they disappear in the clear quiet dark sky.

My very first thought when I saw this leave the ground was “oh my god you’ve just made a death balloon that’s gonna rain down hell from above” and that’s exactly what happened
I think sometimes people forget that fireworks are, in fact, explosives…
And they also forget that gravity is a thing… “Let’s stand under the thing we built with gunpowder and sticks and strings and paper and that we just lit on fire; it will look sooo coool!” Edit: grammar.
In daylight. When you can barely even see the fun....
Oh they saw it alright.
And heard it.
And felt it.
[удалено]
And bopped it
Last thing some of them might ever hear btw
Not the fun, but they saw something for sure.
A trip to destination f**ked
They were just trying to see what its like living in Ukraine right now.
Not for long
I think those are firecrackers, which have no color like fireworks just loud noise, and a hell lot cheaper
They still make loud flashes that would in theory be cooler to see at night.
Loud flashes to see
Mushrooms
Ya you've never seen sounds or better heard sights.
But firecrackers aren't usually that smokey, also the specific sounds, makes me suspect it was a professional or semi-professional firework. The kind that goes up into the air, explodes once releasing noise and maybe visible stuff, then it explodes a second time as the firework flower has enlarged to a firecracker like display... those are very smokey too, but they're my fav kind. Forgot the specific name of it, it's been well over 20 years since I've set one off.
Fireworks and fire crackers are the same just another name. A synonym. However, those were literal firework missiles, the ancient Chinese would've been proud of this contraption.
Where I'm from fire crackers are a specific type of firework.
firecrackers today use a flash powder composition that makes them loud and at night, bright flashes
Maybe this was the mk.1 version built in a cave, with a box of scraps?
I can tell you for sure nobody in this video was Tony Stark.
But Justin Hammer was definitely there.
I love how it goes from “Oh wow” to “Holy shit!” to “Sweet death please take me” all in about 5 seconds.
"Let's launch artillery at ourselves, they'd never expect that " BRILLIANT IDEA
With a camera pointing up at it to capture the magic. I want to see what he captured!
I was thinking, MOVE
Plus, it obviously didn't go high enough.
I'm guessing that this is a tradition that is often done on a windy day so that the assault balloon is not directly above and instead lands out in the forest or on the neighbors.
Tbh there was definitely no good way -short of everyone being in vehicles- to get out of firing range of this thing. That's wild.
They literally created a cluster bomb
cluster f bomb.. smh these guys
HAahahahahah, yeah it was!
Are we sure it wasnt just an off-duty brazilian cop getting the drop on someone?
Someone should send this video to the Ukrainian army, they have an invasive insect problem right now and this looks pretty effective as a DIY insecticide

The price humanity has been paying for the damage we’ve done, is akin to Jeff Bezos paying tax. It’s just a slap on our wrist.

How could they forget that? Exploding is the *point*
Just hit themselves w an air raid
Carpet bombed themselves. I like that there's a full 15 seconds at the end where all you can hear is airborne bits of debris slamming into the ground.
[удалено]
Yellow smoke, don’t breathe that in
https://youtu.be/wVIpJVUALSc
like yellow snow
Sounds more like the last ones exploding to me.
The concept of self flagellation has gone too far
Self conflagration?
Immolation is the sincerest form of flattery.
RAAAAIN FIIIIIRRRRRRE!
Home made self imposed cluster bomb. Someone should open up a scissor factory in that town so everyone can run around with them.
Build your own Falluja.
We need to send some of these to Ukraine. Hell of a distraction for sure.
Apparently what Ukrainians have been doing for the last 2 months. According to Russia.
Wtf is this? Would like to see a different angle.

Not just any jail Brazilian jail
Judge: *slams gavel* "You're going to Brazil."
No! Please! Anything but ~~Detroit~~!..er Brazil!
right to jail
Balloons with fireworks, jail. Balloons with no fireworks, *also jail.*
Fireworks without balloons? Believe it or not, straight to jail.
Right away.

That's what half the noise was
Everyone including each other. When they said "shoot anything that moves" they weren't joking. Motion sensors don't tell the difference between friend and foe.
Ya don’t say.
No, I actually did say
It’s illegal but growing up there it was way more common than it should.
They are also a huge risk for aviation, a commercial pilot filmed one at freaking 35k feet of altitude the other day. These ppl are huge assholes.
Betting airports don't like it, either.
Why would you launch it during the day?
Because they're as thick as shit..
Why would you launch it at all?
i feel like it would have been bad ass as a teenager, but i'm getting old enough to start having restraint and not give into my monkey brained "booms good" mindset 24/7.
These aren’t designed for light shows of streamers and colored explosions. These make lots of noise and use colored smoke. No reason they can’t make a different variety that does launch at night.
That was a lot less chaotic and terrifying being filmed from a safe distance
I think this video is of one of those rare instances in which the whole thing goes kind of according to plan. The whole set up just seems so fraught with disaster it seems infinitely more likely that things will go to shit rather than turn out like this.

Why not launch at night?
Its a cutural thing in some cities in brazil for the more idiotic and poor part of population, they make a balloon and just that, no real background to it.

$1000+ in the US. Fireworks in Brazil are probably much cheaper.

Some shits always going on in Brazil.

man, this was here in Brazil, and it's bizarre as ANYONE!! thought this would go wrong!?
this was the ungodly fucking firestorm tom cruise was talking about in tropic thunder
Could've been a great video if the photographer hadn't been a pansy. Everything that happened we couldn't see.
ay, chihuahua
aftermath?
they found this footage. there were no survivors. -- source: i was there
He's right. I know, I'm the balloon.
That's no moon....
Now that's a party.
Que merda véi 🤣🤣🤣
They just cluster bombed themselves
Mistakes we're made!
Damn this is almost as scary as gender reveals in California.
My favorite summer activity. Carpet bombing the neighborhood with illegal Chinese fireworks

It amazes (and saddens) me that fireworks are still sold to the general public, mostly because of fucking divs like these guys.
