This is the moment a bundle of party balloons explode in a fireball engulfing a lift full of people.
The gas-filled balloons suddenly caught fire and blew up just seconds after a man carrying them entered a lift inside a building at Amol Tower, in Goregaon, a suburb of Mumbai, India, on Monday night.
Himani Tapriya, a 21-year-old student, suffered burns on her arms, neck and stomach following the explosion.
Raju Kumar Mahato, 32, a delivery man who was couriering the balloons to the residential building for a birthday party, also suffered burns.
But the pair and a third person in the lift remarkably all escaped without major injury.
CCTV footage shows Ms Tapriya entering the lift with a suitcase before the delivery man walks in with the bundle of balloons.
Another man, dressed in black, enters moments before an inferno suddenly engulfs the lift.
They all run out of the lift before the door closes while the flames continue to rage.

So you thought ...
What could go wrong?/s
“How do you know they didn’t use the cheap flammable helium?”
Chinazon sells that stuff, it’s called Zangdu Helium.
When you absolutely, positively need cheap China stuff, you can always count on Ama...er..Chinazon.
Who taught you to be so cynical?
I bet they were super buoyant.
I'm surprised that the person in that fireball didn't get burned more severely. I guess if it was only a flash, it didn't maintain contact with her skin that long.
Ja, die Hindenburg-Nachstellungsparty.
Es folgt eine Explosion.

Have you tested the cheap stuff in a bomb calorimeter? How do you KNOW? The cheap helium can be real dangerous. Ya can’t be too careful.

Long time no see. I had forgotten your trolling handle.
Perhaps you can fill me in on what happened to your buddy Kiryandil?

Well that’s one way to treat constipation.

No; you brought it here yourself. Opus?
