Idiot Fox 31 reporters — talking about how windy it would be in the balloon with wind speed at 25 mph. The balloon moves with the wind so the relative difference in speed would be low and any observer in the balloon would not notice high winds. Likewise some other comments they made. However, they are correct about the temperature drop at 15,000 feet — from 60’s on the ground to about 17° at that altitude.

And they were also talking about “wind chill” for someone in the balloon. Ridiculous.
