Hot air balloon....woops
 
got to go ballooning in napa valley last weekend. when we landed we heard of a balloon ahead of us that threw the line out, then couldnt land so went back up, dragging the line. they said he drug some bleachers at a football field.

i was taking pics when we were coming down, and didnt know all this was going on, but when i zoomed in on the pics later, saw that I caught it. lots of people in that balloon, and it looks pretty tilted...i'da shit my pants.

One year at the annual Reno balloon races, the wind kicked up after the launch and caught a few balloons still in the air. I live about 15 miles west of the site and one of the balloons went flying by my house totally out of control. He finally crash landed on the hill west of my house. Luckily, no injuries, but it was a scary thing to watch.
