You know how much they like to see things go " BOOM "! No worries -- helium isn't explosive. You're thinking of hydrogen as in the Hindenberg disaster.

Bernard Marx :" helium isn't explosive. You're thinking of hydrogen as in the Hindenberg disaster."

No worries -- helium isn't explosive. You're thinking of hydrogen as in the Hindenberg disaster. The USA is indirectly responsible for the Hindenberg disaster. During the late 1930s, the USA put an embargo on helium shipments to Germany. That caused Germany to switch to hydrogen gas to keep their airships going. The rest is history.
