Balloon crashing in sweden

[bjornporshammar]

I just wonder?? Where is the crash???? I'm a hotair balloonpilot aswell and I can not see any crash at all! It's a perfect landing, and if it was a crash, how many wounded? Swedish pilots are probably thee most experienced and most trained in the world, talking of Stockholm pilots now, we have a lot of water to beware of befor we make a perfect landing like this one...

Trust me, no crash at all =)

That WASN'T a crash. I've seen perfectly normal landing's very close to tree's. I've been ballooning for over 10 years and I have seen crashes...this wasn't one of them.

[thejackass8]

@07fudge okay, but as isaw it, it was a king of crash

[Balonar]

@thejackass8 you should correct the title .. nothing but just a perfect landing ..

[samolajn123]

lyckat det såg ut då ._.

[mathieurouanet]

just a landing

[Lugiarulz233]

This isn't a balloon crash you dunce.

[azzymezzy]

I was there and i know it was really a emergency landing.Glad they made it and are okey.The balloon did get stuck in a tree for a while.

[aerovolant]

Yes, this is a balloon crash, and you are not a jackass!

[funyvanman]

I wish people would become educated before posting videos like this. This is a landing not a crash. This is what balloons do. We cant steer them like an airplane so we land them wherever there is room to land and take down. Please stop calling these crashes!!!!!!

[AustinAnthonyBurrows]

What happend im a balloon funatic and im getting my license this year.

[thejackass8]

well, they wouldent land there, there are trees if you dont saw it!! it was a "crash"

[michael11234]

Public! that balloon looks pretty big like a 300 at least. sometimes you need to land where there's little room. the balloon didn't CRASH it landed because I'm guessing he was low on gas otherwise he would have flew on. not the best landing spot but nothing wrong with it

[bjornporshammar]

@michael11234 Actually it's a 600, the biggest ballon in the world ...to fly passangers in i will say... the basket can take as much as 32 passangers, but we fly only 28 + a pilot and one crew, total, 30 persons =)

[zbjack1]

No damage, no injury, no crash.

[bjornporshammar]

@thejackass8 BS, we like to use treeas as a break, we like to go low and let the treecrowns slow us down before we land...don't post before you look out for facts...sorry but this is just another perfect landing

[adrayna]

neilrw10 is right. That doesn't look like a crash. Especially whithout seeing how the balloon descended. It looks to me, since the ground crew was there very quickly, that it was simply a change in plans. The winds may have changed, or something may have just been off to the pilot, so they decided to come down in what looks like a park. I had a balloon land in my back yard once, simply because he was lower on fuel than he thought. No crash. Just a landing.

[theonlinegamers]

listen up you freaking moron you can´t just say that this is fake b/c i was there myself. So next time you want to comment a "fake" video just DONT DO IT!!!

[adrayna]

No one said it was fake. It just doesn't appear to be a crash. Just a non-scheduled landing.

[neilrw10]

Yeah, jackass OK. Crashing, my arse. Sometimes it's necessary to land in a tight spot. This pilot appears to have done just that, no-one hurt, nothing damaged. No problem.

[thejackass8]

excjus me Mrs. snobb this hot-air ballon should crash 2 km away from my house and the wind took them away, so stpo playing snobb

[ksbear2]

Do you crew for hot air balloons on a regular basis? Or fly one? I crew - regularly - and this appears to be a normal landing and pack-up. There is no urgency being shown on the part of the crew. As soon as you launch you start looking for a place to land. It's normal. No need to be so defensive about other people saying this probably wasn't a crash.

[thejackass8]

so you really think that they would leave the ballon there forever??

[ksbear2]

Did I say that? NO. But -just for clarity, how long DID the balloon stand after landing before the top was pulled and the envelope collapsed? I still submit that it was a very normal landing!
