Arrr, mateys! A mighty hot air balloon, bearin' three scallywags, plowed headlong into a radio tower at the Albuquerque Balloon Bash on Friday! Aye, 'twas a sight to see: sky pirates on a wild ride gone awry! Blimey, even the tower be shiverin’ in its boots!
Ahoy, mateys! Gather 'round fer a tale from the skies of Albuquerque, New Mexico, where a hot air balloon met its doom amidst a festoon of colorful balloons! Aye, during the grand Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, a merry band of three souls found themselves aloft when their balloon, like a drunken pirate, struck a radio tower at the break o’ dawn, causin’ a ruckus and a fiery spectacle!Captain Kevin Carhart, speakin’ on behalf o’ the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office, shared the news of this fateful descent. Thankfully, no crew was harmed, though one can only imagine the shrieks that echoed as the balloon plummeted! A brave soul named Curt Fargo even caught the mishap on his magic mirror, video-tappin’ the tower’s collapse like a ship lost at sea.
The Federal Aviation Administration, those landlubbers, be investigatin’ the matter, as this ain't the first run-in with the tower. Back in 2004, a Smokey Bear balloon took a similar tumble, leavin’ its crew hangin’ like laundry on a windy day!
So, me hearties, the fiesta carried on, but let this be a lesson: keep yer balloons clear of the towers, lest ye be toastin’ ‘em over the open flame like a pirate’s feast!
