Thank you for such wonderful videos of the Balloon Fiesta. I'm from Albuquerque but had to move away and was feeling very homesick today and watching your videos of the Balloon Fiesta has given me a small piece of Albuquerque back. Thank you!
I am sorry to say this, but this baloon festival needs to stop, a man wa killed this year aafter a ballon hit a wire and caught fire, THe past few years, every year something bad has happened a ththis fiesta. Someon ehas gotten killed, or badly injured, I am from Albuquerue, However, this doesnt make sense anymore to have this.
Its not the balloon fiesta itself. Ballooning is one of the safest forms of aviation, man and that's a fact. The only sort of control the pilot of a balloon as is pretty much at the mercy of mother nature and so far alot of accidents, not just that of albuquerque, seem to be of pilot error and suudden changes in wind speed or direction. Albuquerque however, the recent accidents of the last couple years seem to be from sudden changes in wind speed.
