    Let’s put a billion birthday balloons worth of MRI gas in a terminally slow aircraft and inexplicably fly it over sports stadiums.

      Modern airship designs can go hundreds of km per hour.

      With modern technology we also can contain fire into pockets.

      This isn’t much different than criticising a plane because petrol is flammable.

        And that don’t readily explode when exposed to an ignition source?

        (I actually think hydrogen party balloons would be fun).

          lol, I worked in one (dangerous) shop where a common prank would be to wait for someone to be in thier hood, upend a large styrofoam coffee cup from the break room on the edge of someone’s bench, fill it with aceteline from a torch and spark it.

            I’ve seen that prank too. Feels like an old fabricators’ rite of passage. Also probably where a lot of cases of tinnitus originate.
