Macomb County Neighborhood Gets A Surprise Visitor
This seems to happen a lot, hot air balloons making landing in unexpected places. For example, we had one land in my sub a few weeks ago. Now members of a Macomb County sub experienced the same thing.
Thankfully Tony and his wife Kim were able to catch it all on camera. They sent the video to Channel 4 and were able to share the experience with everyone.
The balloon had to make an emergency landing after it was seen not getting enough flame to the balloon. It landed in a subdivision near 33 Mile Road and McKay on Thursday afternoon.
Here is the video from Tony and Kim, provided to us by Channel 4 news.

Now I honestly don’t think this is anything know. In fact, I know it’s not. Just a few weeks ago a hot air balloon landed in my neighborhood in Howell. We were not home but we saw all the photos from our neighborhood facebook page.
It was funny to see a bunch of families helping to fold the balloon up as they waited for someone to come and pick them and the basket up. Another time, this happened when I was a little kid. A balloon landed right in my neighbors backyard.
This is also why I will never get in a hot air balloon. I do not trust something that really doesn’t know where it is going to land. Not to mention, we almost killed my mom on her 60th birthday by getting her a balloon ride. We got her a ride and next thing we know, we are getting photos of them and the basket laying on the side of the road. It was funny after the fact but for sure scared all of us for a while.
