Reminds me of the time some pilots at a local event were fooling around with an old envelope and it got away. They attached it with quick releases to a basket and secured the crown line to the truck. The plan was to have it invert and drop to the ground. After getting it hot the releases were pulled and the envelope started inverting, got to the end of the line and snapped, everyone looked on in horror as the balloon sailed away. It was found about 5 miles away in a back yard.
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing the video! Truthfully tho, I find myself very thankful for gasoline powered fans, ripstop nylon envelopes and propane burners. *lol*
Great Vidio, wish I had been there. Unfortuantely in the U S the FAA would never let us attempt such a flight.. Any consideration as to where the balloon would come down?
very nice.

Everything was fine with landowners:) There was no damage.
Why it is considered that if the action takes place in France, everything must be in french?
"Arrival" is not chinese song. It's M. Oldfield's cover of ABBA's song. And this song I associate with something new.
"Madan" is an african tribal song. Here it sounds because people pursued the balloon as the african tribe chasing buffalo :)

Neat, but why does the music first sound Chinese then African? Isn't this supposed to be French?!

Excellent! Looks like fun, too! Was the landowner where the balloon landed OK with it?
