Wind was nasty yesterday, but evidently better conditions today.
ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - Overcast skies weren't a problem for the fourth day of the 2009 Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. Chillier temperatures and a light wind from the north allowed many pilots to take flight from the field or compete in Fiesta Hold'em.

I’ve been in those baskets and they are horrible. They are hot, hot, hot.

I watched that on the 10:00 news last night. I was injured in a hot air balloon accident, and I have to tell you that he is lucky to be alive. Falling 20 feet could have killed him. I cracked some ribs, knocked both knee caps loose and messed up my spine. It took four operations to put me back together again. Needless to say, I will never take a ride in one again!

Big pilot error for hitting that building, passenger was very lucky he wasn’t killed or paralyzed.

Risk, sometimes, is a forgotten factor on a calm sunny day.
Looks like the passenger was not prepared for the collision with the tent.

Prayers for the fellow.
I pray he and the pilot discover situational awareness as well.
