It香蕉视频直播檚 a bird, it香蕉视频直播檚 a plane, it香蕉视频直播檚 a balloon.
Kelowna residents in Dilworth Mountain Estates were surprised to see an air balloon landing in their neighbourhood, July 31.
Owner of Okanagan Ballooning John Klempner said crews checked the upper air patterns before flights but the winds changed.
The balloon started at Heritage Christian School and 香蕉视频直播渨e got three-quarters of the way to Benvoulin when the winds changed and took us up towards Dilworth. So we figured 香蕉视频直播榝ine we香蕉视频直播檒l fly into Glenmore and land in the farm fields there,香蕉视频直播 but we got up over Dilworth and then the winds stopped,香蕉视频直播 he said, which forced the balloon to land in the street.

香蕉视频直播淚f the winds stop, a road with underground power lines is a good enough place to bring a balloon down safety,香蕉视频直播 Klempner said.
No one was injured.
He said neighbourhood landings happen three to four times a year.
香蕉视频直播淭hat香蕉视频直播檚 just the whole sport of ballooning. We can香蕉视频直播檛 control direction at all,香蕉视频直播 he said.
A chase crew was also following below to ensure people didn香蕉视频直播檛 roam into the streets, he said.
