duey Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 http://wcbs880.com/njnews/NJ--BalloonAccid...urces_news_html Woman injured in hot-air balloon mishap Sunday October 30, 2005 BETHLEHEM TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP) A woman helping her husband launch his hot-air balloon was seriously injured Sunday when her leg got caught in a rope and she was pulled up into the air before falling and crashing through the roof of a barn. Kathleen J. Long, 53, of Phillipsburg, was in critical condition Sunday night at St. Luke's Hospital in Fountain Hill, but further details of her injuries were not disclosed. It was not clear how Long's leg got caught in the rope, but witnesses say she dangled from it for a short time and passed through several tree tops before she was knocked off. She then fell about 50 feet and crashed through the roof of the barn in Bethlehem Township. What I wouldn't give to have video of that whole thing!
