balloon

The 1997 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. There had been high winds that caused problems throughout the day. As you can see, the folks holding on the Barney were already having a hard time keeping him under control. As it happens, Barney got caught on a lamppost and suffered a fatal stab wound to the right side. And then, NYPD came in to finish the job

The balloon animal is the perfect accessory to that outfit.

Looks like Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade will be black listed for parent's with small children for a few years.

Thanks to strong winds in Manhattan during the annual parade, the people walking with the Barney float lost control. The giant balloon swayed into a street light, puncturing a giant hole in Barney's side. #Rest In Pieces
