National Balloon Classic Mass Ascension

Mass Ascension & flight from the National Balloon Classic, Indianola, IA, Saturday p.m., July 31, 2010. At about 1 minute you'll see a fire truck across the bottom of the screen & hear a siren. A crew person on the mouth of a balloon stepped in a hole & fell. Word is she told the pilot to "Roll me out of the way & go fly". That's a dedicated crew person. She was taken to the hospital & had X rays - had a fractured ankle. She's hoping to be back crewing by the end of the week. The rest of the movie just follows part of the flight - shows the huge crowd on the grounds & cars still flowing into the parking lot. Then on over Pickard park & towards the Indianola Middle school. Move by Max Harris, pilot of Ambrosia Hot Air Balloon.
