I can see the smaller ones being hard to hit with their guns, but that one that was as big as three busses they said the could not hit and had to use a missile… I don’t get that one
In 1997, during the Macy’s parade, balloon handlers had trouble maintaining control because of high winds. People were injured, and balloons were damaged. The best known is the death of the Barney balloon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epgXuMB1sF8 .
I am glad to see that I am not the only one who doesn’t call it the “Macy’s Day Parade” (although I am not sure if CBS is allowed to call it the “Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade” in its coverage of it – its coverage is called just “The Thanksgiving Day Parade”)

I’d be more worried about the Sidewinder missile shot downward into the crowd.

With that much helium released at low altitude over a tightly packed parade crowd…NYC will sound like Munchkinland for at least a week.

“Thoom!” ? Did the Hulk just go by?

It could have happened when the parade first started, I read that they released the balloons when the parade was over for the first few years.

I think they took down THAT balloon because it was Dora. Not because it was a suspected spy balloon.
