Despite our best efforts, quotes and facts in a piece can all be accurate while the overall piece carries false implications. Did that happen with one of our iterations on Balloonfest?
OK, so let’s talk about the two fishermen.
The Coast Guard used a helicopter, divers and boats to conduct a search but had to suspend operations when the Saturday storm blew through -- after the balloon launch. When the Coast Guard search resumed, the balloons were everywhere, and searchers said trying to discern a floating person or life vest among the multi-colored balloons was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
On top of that, the two would have been fighting against Lake Erie’s notoriously strong currents during powerful storms. I started with the reporter who covered it for The Plain Dealer. She is one of the finest journalists I know. She had a storied career. But if I name her here, search engines will forever tie her to Balloonfest. I can’t make something as goofy as Balloonfest her legacy.
1.5 million balloons were held in netting awaiting release before the United Way's Balloonfest '86 promotion. I think I side with the documentary film maker who has examined the recent reports and found them to be fake news. I’m talking about the reports calling it a tragic disaster. So many have gone that way in the past few years. I buy more into the original reporting in September 1986, which was exhaustive and detailed, portraying the day as a win for Cleveland. As I said earlier, I know well the reporter who covered it, and she was a stickler for getting things right.
