[QUOTE]YEREVAN, Armenia — An explosion injured at least 144 in central Yerevan on Friday during a campaign rally by Armenia's ruling party two days before a parliamentary election, a local emergency official was quoted as saying by the Interfax news agency.Local media said it appeared that gas-filled balloons had exploded at the rally in the central Republic Square after being ignited by a cigarette.
Sunday's election is widely seen as a test of democracy and a potential challenge for President Serzh Sarksyan, elected in 2008.[/QUOTE]

Alright, so we've now established it's not a good idea to smoke near gas-filled balloons.
Oh god I wanna make a "99 luftballoons" reference somehow but I have no idea how and I know it'd be a bad idea. Who fills balloons up with gas anyways?
There's a girl at 30 seconds who doesn't notice her hair is on fire.
This is awful :c
Why would they cut out the beginning of the explosion.
God why are people so clueless when it comes to editing in a logical manner.

I thought she noticed and was just too stupid to properly extinguish it and kept running.
You're probably right.

Perhaps they weren't filming then?
Damn you balloons.

It's a possibility but I doubt it
Some people want to set the world on fire it seems.

what part of the video or article leads you to doubt that someone turned a camera off for a bit?
[QUOTE=Guitarplayer213;35825885]Oh god I wanna make a "99 luftballoons" reference somehow but I have no idea how and I know it'd be a bad idea. Who fills balloons up with gas anyways?[/QUOTE]
Hydrogen.

Missed the part where the camera panned away from the balloons, dummy.

I usually fill the balloons with vacuum.
What moron decided to fill up balloons with hydrogen? [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindenburg_disaster"]Didn't we already learn not to do that?[/URL]
Hydrogen is half the price of helium, It's a bargain!

I'd rather not continue this, Dantai's explanation that they panned away for the first bit makes sense, but I doubted it because I personally don't think a cameraman would turn off his camera in the middle of an event.

Half the Subatomic Particles, half the price!
What a deal, oh wait hydrogen explodes.
Smoking near gas filled balloons, truly the greatest idea of our time.
You can't blame it on smoking.
Some asshole lit one of the balloons uisng a lighter or a cigarette.

I dunno, most people would assume they were filled with helium instead of hydrogen
not funny to me anytime one of my people gets hurt, I'm Armenian.
Armenian Ballonicide.
Whoever decided filling baloons with hydrogen was a good idea is not going to have a pleasent future.
I just love the way the video is editted
*Party, music playing everyone looks happy*
*cut*
*Everythings on fire people are screaming and running around.
It's too bad this happened, everyone looked so happy but by the end you could tell they were deflated.
And this is why balloons are harmful to society!
That was pretty funny.
it is nothing, when we think that they burned innocent azeri children in front of their parents.
