MY FACT: Two people drowned

Two people drowned? Is there a pool somewhere in this picture?

Judging by the responses from others, I guess I just don't "get" this. Clu's answer is the only one so far, that makes any sense to me. :(

Ducky it's a pic from a disaster involving the release of 1.5 million balloons!

lindilou, that would have been a good fact to post as an answer.

Hey! ;)
It does look like a Jurassic autumn coloured tree too though!

Fooled me, and what a horrible outcome for something meant to be cool. If Cleveland Rick stopped by, he'd know, wouldn't he!

Bob, this must be one very interesting class.

Ducky, I'm with you. The directions are vague. We need more information.
And Lindi, I thought those balloons were fall tree foliage .

No mcm, I didn't say (nor mean) that "the directions are vague. We need more information". Here's what I meant.....This must be one very interesting class.

" From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Balloonfest '86
Time Around 13:50 EST
Date September 27, 1986
Location Public Square, Cleveland, Ohio, United States
Coordinates 41°29′59″N 81°41′38″WCoordinates: 41°29′59″N 81°41′38″W
Outcome World record for simultaneous release of balloons
Organizers United Way of Cleveland
Balloonfest '86 was a 1986 event in which the United Way of Cleveland in Ohio set a world record by releasing almost one and a half million balloons.[1] The event was intended to be a harmless fundraising publicity stunt, but the balloons drifted back over the city, Lake Erie and land in the surrounding area, and caused problems for traffic and a nearby airport. The event also interfered with a United States Coast Guard search for two boaters who were later found drowned.[2] In consequence, the organizers and the city faced lawsuits seeking millions of US dollars in damages,[2] and cost overruns put the event in the red.[3]"

mcm: What do you not understand? Backstory, which I explained under the question line, and here again, for you: In my class, we are quizzed by viewing photos and taking turns identifying them for points. In like manner, I posted a photo with some red stuff in the air. A plane is circled to give you an indication how large the red stuff is. If you recognize the skyline, which is Cleveland, Ohio, you can do a little research and find out, like lindilou and Ducky did. If you post an original ANSWER, instead of a comment complaining and criticizing, you get karma POINTS. How much simpler does this need to be for you?
We were doing pretty well keeping away from each other's space. Why don't you leave well enough alone?
