Hot Air Balloon Makes Emergency Landing in California Backyard
The pilot steered the balloon into a flat backyard after winds died down and fuel ran low, and no one was injured, officials said.
- On Saturday, April 18, a pilot made an emergency landing with a hot air balloon carrying 13 passengers in the backyard of homeowners Hunter Perrin and Jenna Perrin in Temecula, California.
- The pilot executed the emergency landing after winds died down and the aircraft ran out of fuel, skillfully steering toward the flat, grassy yard to avoid steep slopes and obstacles.
- "Practically kissing the fence," Jenna Perrin said, as neighbors gathered to witness the surreal scene with the balloon resting safely in their backyard.
- After refuelling for about two hours, the pilot lifted the balloon around 100 feet high to the street, where the craft was dismantled and passengers were transported away.
- No one was injured during the incident, and Hunter Perrin later noted he was happy to return to a normal, uneventful day following the excitement.
