I feel like everyone got off real easy here:
A hot air balloon crashed Wednesday evening in Rochester, Minnesota, authorities said.
The Federal Aviation Administration told CBS News in a statement that there were three people aboard the balloon when it crashed at about 6:50 p.m. local time. Two people reported minor injuries.
The footage is rather harrowing:
That balloon is just like, "See ya!"
Amazingly, the basket didn't just drop — it got snagged in the lines!
They hung up on the power lines. The was some sparking going with them hanging in the power lines in the basket. Eventually, the wire gave way and the basket and they took a drop from that wire to the ground.
This was the result:
Pretty amazing that only "minor injuries" resulted from that!
The balloon, meanwhile, was located several miles away.
