A Hot-Air Balloon Landed in a California Backyard. The Owner Says It's a 'Very Rare' Event
SMRTR summary
A hot-air balloon from Magical Adventures Balloon Rides made an unexpected landing in a Temecula, California backyard Saturday morning when calm winds left it stranded above a residential neighborhood for 30 minutes past its normal hour-long flight. The pilot, running low on fuel, chose the spacious backyard as the safest landing option to avoid property damage or passenger risk. Company CEO Denni Barrett called the incident "very rare" in his 20+ years of operation, and passengers were so impressed with the pilot's safety handling that they requested to fly with him again.
