FROM TRANSLATION:
The accident occurred in the early afternoon of Friday (Oct. 12) in the northern capital of Pernambuco, Brasil.
Two balloon sellers Marcelo, 42, and Vanderson, 19, had their legs amputated during the explosion and are admitted to the Hospital. Despite the worsening of the situation, they are not at risk of death.
Besides the vendors, 3 other people were burned during the explosion. One has already been released by the hospital. Two others remain hospitalized. The doctors who treated these two wounded said they suffered third-degree burns on the legs.
The Institute of Criminology of Recife has the expertise in place, and now investigates possible causes of the accident.
Among the hypotheses that have caused the explosion is the mishandling of the gas cylinder that was used to fill balloons.
The balloon sellers had permission to handle this type of equipment.

Were they using hydrogen (since He prices are so high now)? When it said "explosion", I thought the cylinder may have failed. However, with 3rd degree burns, they were using a flammable gas.
I guess they were selling "labooms" instead of balloons.

@Lolling Most probably hydrogen, same as the Hindenburg and the Zeppelin. BTW, one of them flew over about 7 miles south of here in the late 1930's. Several people drove out to see it, including the man - a child at the time - who told me about it.
