A video is going viral on social media recently, which shows a fire breaking out inside an elevator of a residential building in Mumbai, after balloons caught fire, leading to an explosion.
CCTV footage shows a woman along with a man holding a dozen of balloons in a polythene, and one more person entering the lift. Right after a moment, the balloons caught fire, leading to an explosion inside the lift. However, the people escaped the lift narrowly right after the explosion, which reportedly left them injured.
Besides, social media users are being seen reacting and responding to the viral video.
One wrote, "Hydrogen is extremely inflammable, and it leaks in small volumes from balloons. A lift has static electricity as well as electronic components. Even a tiny spark can result in an explosion."
Another user commented, "Safety ignored, danger invited. Lesson: Buy helium balloons only from reputable vendors."
