On Camera: Dramatic Tower Rescue After Balloon Gets Stuck
Two passengers — a man and a woman– were saved in a high-stakes rescue after their hot air balloon crashed into a cell phone tower in Longview, Texas, leaving them dangling approximately 920 feet above the ground. The incident happened on February 28, around 8:15 am, when the balloon collided with the tower, and its envelope became snagged on the structure. The heart-stopping footage shows them clinging to a hot air balloon’s basket as it swings wildly in the wind. The balloon’s envelope was torn by the 1,100-foot cell tower, leaving the pair dangling precariously.
The Longview Fire Department deployed 14 rescuers from its Special Operations Unit to scale the 1,100-foot tower. Rescuers used complex rope systems to reach the basket and extricate the occupants section by section.
“Climbing operations began around 8:50 AM using multiple rope systems due to the extreme height and complexity of the incident. Rescuers made patient contact at approximately 10:00 AM. Both occupants are conscious, and, at this time, no injuries have been reported,” the department wrote on its Facebook page while sharing pictures of the rescue.
