Breaking News- Balloon crashes at Macy's

#1 Postby tomboudreau » Thu Nov 24, 2005 11:53 am

Just heard on CNN that a balloon has crashed into a street light at the Macy's Parade this morning. It crashed into the light because of winds. There are injuries being reported.

Wasn't that last year? Or the year before? Seems like that happened in the last year or so, it hit a light and it crashed down and hit someone. Didn't notice the wind when I was watching today, seemed like everything was fine. And I watched almost all of it and did not hear of anything. If someone else knows about it, a link would be great. :D
