The birthday celebration of a woman named Giang in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, ended badly. During Giang's birthday celebration, an explosion occurred when the candles on the cake she was holding came into contact with a hydrogen-filled balloon in her other hand.
"MAY MY UNFORTUNATE EXPERIENCE BE A LESSON FOR OTHERS"
After the incident, it was determined that the woman, who was taken to the hospital, suffered second-degree burns on her face, hands, and arms. Receiving treatment, Giang stated, "Due to the fear I experienced, I couldn't watch the footage of the incident for a long time. If I had known, I wouldn't have put myself in such a dangerous situation. May my unfortunate experience be a lesson for others." Meanwhile, the moment of the incident was recorded in real-time by a mobile phone camera.
CRITICAL WARNING FROM EXPERTS
Experts warn that although hydrogen gas is much cheaper than helium, it is extremely flammable and poses a risk of explosion when in contact with fire, so hydrogen balloons should not be used in enclosed spaces and for entertainment purposes.
