    There was a crash outside my house yesterday, but not your ordinary
    everyday crash.

    My SO shouted down to me to bring my camera upstairs.

    Oh dear I just can't get it up. I hope they see my lights.

    Bang, sorry mate I didn't see you. A bit hard to see but the white
    vehicle has just been basketed.

    Quick lets get away before they get our number.

    Oooops down again.

    I suppose it makes a change from bikes crashing.

    It was like watching a carry-on film.

    If air were all the same density then yes, but I would imagine that they hit
    a patch of less-than-friendly air and it said "Oi! No!"[1]. Either that or
    they were bloody stupid.

    [1] Technical explanation for the hard-of-thinking.

    They had the burner on a lot but the balloon was still bouncing around,
    a few miles to the west and they would have been bouncing on the A1M.
    Tat would have been fun.

    They launch from the racecourse here; I've spent the occasional
    pleasant evening watching them rise up over the Cloud. And the odd
    hilarious evenig listening to them shrieking in panic as they fail to
    rise up over the Cloud...

    I've heard balloonists mention the sometimes superb hearing conditions
    you can get in the basket - being able to hear conversations taking
    place a couple of hundred feet below you. I wonder if it works both
    ways.

    Aye, I had to install a petrol station in the drive so visitors can top
