Hot air balloon drops onto Bristol street

By Bristol24/7  Monday Sep 19, 2016

A hot air balloon made an unscheduled landing in the middle of a busy road in Redland on Sunday morning.

The balloon drifted low over terraced houses before landing on Redland Grove, near Redland Station, where neighbours helped the pilots pack away the balloon and stuck around for an impromptu meet-up.

First Bus had to redirect the Number 9 service while the road was cleared after the balloon dropped out of the sky due to lack of wind.
