    Wow. That's very interesting. Rare, too, I'll bet. Hope they're all ok! And, though I guess it's not as important as peoples' safety, I hope your backyard and all is ok, too.

    And quit with the suspense, would ya?! Go ahead and tell us about it!!

    We had a hot air baloon crash in our field when I was little-It was from Jerzee (The T-shirt company) they gave us all free shirts.

    Okay, pictures turned out TERRIBLE. We were using my roommates camera and he was holding it way over his head to take the pics. Not to mention it was about 12AM and we were 3 sheets to the wind. =P

    Here are 2 of them, you can definitely make it all out. The thing actually never hit the ground which is weird. I didn't even hear what had happened, all of a sudden the power just went out and it was pouring rain the whole time. Can't believe the guy survived.

    And yeah, thank God it didn't crash into the house. :eek:

    So it didn't even catch on fire, huh?

    That's a fortunate guy. Must've had a guardian angel with him.

    More details:

    5x Drunk Driver

    Apparently depressed at the sudden loss of his brother in Alaska earlier this year. Not sure what that has to do with anything, but I guess they're thinking alcohol may have played a factor.

    Yeah, and I'm really sorry about the pic. As I said I didn't take them, my camera was completely out of batteries. =\ I probably wouldn't have wanted to take any if someone had died.

    I think there was way too much going on to get a real good picture of it. If only we had a way to get back there when it was all going on. :(

    Here's some better pics with a good camera. :p

    It is no less than amazing that the power cables didn't break! That's unbelievable!

    Brings new meaning to drinking and 'driving', eh?

    Glad no one was killed.

    Doesn't even look like the nose even hit the ground. Probably not "THAT" much damage to the plane, unless it was effed up during removal from the wires.
