00:00A dude that was in a hot air balloon in Michigan that ended up crashing into the water.
00:09Well, you'd serve your right.
00:10They probably had to rescue him with a blanket around him.
00:12Channel 7 WXYZ has a story about what happened to this guy during Balloon Fest.
00:16...crash into these electrical lines, setting both the balloon and the basket on fire,
00:21the pilot still inside, and then they floated over and crashed into Thompson Lake.
00:26That's where Dave Park was bass fishing when he looked up and noticed the Balloon Fest early morning flyover.
00:32Yeah, I was taking a few pictures.
00:33Admiration quickly turned to fear.
00:36One balloon started coming down, and when he hit the wires, there was a big flash and an explosion.
00:42Leaving wires sparkling and dangling, littering the shore with charred pieces of balloon.
00:47Lucky for the pilot, two fishermen came to his rescue.
00:49To be honest with you, I thank the pilot for being alive, because I thought when we got over there that it wasn't going to turn out so well, but it did.
01:01Park brought the pilot safely to the rescue crews waiting at the shore.
01:04Other boats hooked onto us and dragged us back to shore.
01:07We just had the pilot, and he was holding onto the balloon.
01:11While he didn't take on many bass, Park reeled in a catch he never expected.
01:15We dragged in the biggest one, the balloon.
01:17Thanks to these fishermen, that pilot today is okay.
01:23Okay.
01:23Reporting from...
01:24What's wrong, Chuck?
01:25Just a couple.
01:26A couple things.
01:27Number one, obviously they didn't get the great video, because there is a video of the whole thing crashing into those power lines,
01:36and you see the fire go up, and it's like, oh, okay, this guy was lucky to be alive.
01:43My issue is calling him a pilot.
01:47Yeah, he's not a pilot.
01:49No, you're not.
01:49No, wait, hold on, hold on.
01:51That's my issue.
01:52What do you call them, a basket rider?
01:53Then how are you?
01:54You're not a pilot, dude.
01:56You're not a pilot.
01:57I think you're just an idiot.
02:00You're taking to the skies in a balloon.
02:02Yeah, so like, this guy's like a majestic beauty of a balloon.
02:06Check it out.
02:07Start my car.
02:11There's no way to pilot it, though, right?
02:15Like, it's just one of the wind blows.
02:15I don't know if they're going to swear or not, so I better...
02:17Oh, that's a lot of fire.
02:18So he starts going down.
02:20I don't think so.
02:20I don't know, though.
02:21But...
02:21So he starts going down for some reason real fast, and then...
02:26Oh!
02:27Oh my god!
02:30Everybody get back!
02:31Everybody get back!
02:34It's okay, that's my favorite guy!
02:35My favorite guy is the everybody get back guy!
02:38Yeah, well...
02:38Everybody get back!
02:39Dude, how's he alive?
02:40Can we hear him again, please?
02:42Yeah.
02:42That sounds...
02:43Go back further.
02:44That sounds crazy.
02:46We're going to put this up on our Facebook page in a second.
02:48Oh!
02:52Lots of volts!
02:52Oh, man!
02:53Lots of volts!
02:56Get back!
02:57Some idiot in a goddamn whisker with your basket!
03:00Just ran...
03:01So then the thing, because he...
03:04Everybody get back!
03:05It was on fire, right?
03:07It goes way up high, and like, the baskets...
03:09Hold on!
03:10We're missing loud screamer guy!
03:11Yeah, but who knows what he's saying?
03:14Ron, are you okay?
03:17Ron, are you okay?
03:18It sent him back?
03:20Did he say no?
03:21He said no!
03:22Ron, Ron's hurt.
03:23How would you be okay?
03:24Ron, are you okay?
03:27No!
03:27No!
03:28No, I'm not!
03:29Get in the water!
03:31Oh, no!
03:32I'm caught!
03:37What's he saying?
03:38I'm caught?
03:39This is why you don't ride in a balloon.
03:40Look at his busted ass!
03:42I can't hear it.
03:43That sounds loud!
03:44Ron, get in the water!
03:46I'm caught!
03:48I'm trying.
03:49He says, Ron, get in the water.
03:50I'm trying!
03:51Is he yelling at the balloon guy?
03:53Yes!
03:53Yes!
03:53So he knows the balloon guy.
03:55Yes!
03:55One, one, one!
03:57I thought he was talking to someone on shore.
03:59He's literally talking to the dude in the balloon.
04:01Yes!
04:02Hey, Ron!
04:03You okay in that basket?
04:04You basket pilot!
04:05No!
04:05No!
04:06No!
04:06Of course he's not okay.
04:07There's no way you're okay after that happened.
04:11Dude.
04:11Oh, boy!
04:13Oh, boy!
04:14Oh, boy!
