Sky Lanterns - Paper Hot Air Balloons, add Fire, let Go (VIDEO)


What could go wrong? Surprisingly it’s safe, no fire raining down from the heavens. It just sounds like the best way to set a city on fire since Miss O’Leary’s cow knocked the candle over in the shed. There’s a whole festival for Sky Lanterns in Taiwan each year (see video). It’s a pretty romantic thing to do when the mood strikes you. Like mini paper hot air balloons, Sky Lanterns take to the sky when filled with air heated by an open flame. When the Cool Hunting testing team, standing at the edge of a Brooklyn pier, lit a sky lantern passersby began to shout in alarm. What were we doing? Put that out! It'll bring the cops, we were told. Then, as the flame-resistant bag inflated and started to take flight, we let go and all were silent on that sultry summer evening while the lantern slowly drifted upwards. Caught in the maritime breeze, it hovered over the East River briefly before vanishing with the wind as it was carried over the city. (coolhunting)
