  • That's not right I'm afraid. It is hydrogen in the balloon.

    Yes it's very unusual to use hydrogen these days, but these are unusual balloons.

  • Pure methane is odourless.

  • @GFantastic no one would use hydrogen in balloons, it's an idiots mistake waiting to happen.

  • Anyone heard of the Hindenburg, don't mess with hydrogen.

  • What was the reason for the burst? Was it the worn out pipe itself, or something else?

  • ah you're right, but I meant to put only hydrogen as flammable, you'll have to forgive me, I was quite out of it when I replied.

  • Hydrogen balooning...

    THAT SOUNDS SAFE!!!!!

  • dodgey title name. i thought it was gona be about a hydrogen explosion. but it was just a pipe burst. with no relevance to hydrogen cause it coulda been any gass

  • WOWZER, are you talking about helium? HELIUM ISN'T FLAMMABLE.

  • Hydrogen has more lifting power and can be easily produced unlike helium.

  • That would be Hydrogen sulfide

  • WOWZER, both extremely flammable gases, we would have learned nothing. Do they not teach anything in school anymore? Do they just like...hand out busy work and hope for the best?
