Nasa Space Balloon Crashes - Sydney, April (2010)

Giant Nasa balloon crashes to earth during take-off

A giant Nasa science balloon crashed during take-off in Australia today, destroying its multi-million-dollar payload, toppling a large car and narrowly missing frightened observers.

Dramatic footage of the incident showed the balloons large undercarriage coming loose from its moorings, smashing through a fence and knocking a four-wheel-drive car on its side before coming to rest.

The Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility (operated by NASA) has launched over 2,000 scientific balloon missions. Accidents are rare. You should realize that there is a huge difference between a camera hanging from a weather balloon and a multi-ton telescope hanging from a 400 ft scientific balloon.
