Video provided by VOA’s Russian Service shows the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, Thursday, November 28. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio drew cheers from the crowd when he declared the balloons “are going to fly” even if a “little lower.” Handlers are keeping the massive inflatables only a couple meters above them.
In the past, strong winds have caused some helium-inflated characters to detach from tethers, leading to injuries.
This year's parade, the 93rd sponsored by American retail department store Macy's, includes a canine cartoon character, Snoopy, as an astronaut.
