The picture of Kongming lanterns flying into the sky is beautiful, but there are also many dangers. Do you know what they are?

Setting off lanterns to pray is a tradition in China. When many people want their New Year's wishes to come true, they often write them down, put them in the lanterns of Kongming, and finally light them and let them take off slowly with people's wishes. The scene was really beautiful when the sky was full of lanterns. However, beauty is beauty, and there are many security risks. Then, what security risks may be brought about by flying Kongming lanterns? Let's discuss it together.

The wind speed is uncontrollable and the danger is unpredictable.

In recent years, the release of Kongming lanterns in many places has caused many safety problems. Because the wind speed is uncontrollable, after we put the Kongming Lantern in the sky, its falling position will become unpredictable because of the uncontrollable factors of the wind. When the external flame temperature of Kongming Lantern is above 600℃, once it is blown down by the wind to a place with paper, wood or clothes, it will cause a fire. Kongming lanterns may also lead to the failure of communication and power supply facilities.

Throughout the city, we can often see various power supply, lighting and communication lines. If Kongming lanterns are set off in the city, once these lanterns are blown off by the wind to various wires and cables, it is likely to lead to various communication and power supply facilities failure. In some places, there have been incidents in which Kongming lanterns hit the Ferris wheel before, which directly affected the normal operation of the Ferris wheel.

Kongming lanterns may also endanger the safety of aircraft and passengers.

If the place where Kongming Lantern flies is close to the airport; Or Kongming lanterns rise to the altitude of 1000 meters, so when they accidentally touch the plane that is about to land or take off, it will definitely endanger the safety of the plane and passengers. Needless to say, the danger brought by this situation. Kongming lanterns may also cause casualties.

When we set out in Kongming, if we set out in a densely populated area, once an accident happens, it is likely to lead to casualties. After all, if there are too many people, it will not be so easy to evacuate the crowd when there is danger. At this time, there may be danger.

The above example, I believe everyone is very clear about how serious the harm of setting off Kongming Lantern is. Therefore, I hope that compatriots will try not to buy and set off Kongming lanterns; If it is really necessary, we should also choose an open place for discharge. Of course, if we really have a wish to realize, it's not bad to make another wish. There's no need to take risks, is there? I hope the above can bring vigilance to everyone!
