Hot air Balloon drama Gold coast Australia Boxing day 2008

Elgas out of gas again almost?

In an almost unfortunate Christmas tragedy this morning a number of hot air balloons nearly landed in our street and suburb on the Gold coast in Australia. They included elgas landing in the street and tallpoppies.net.au in our back yard almost.

WOW these hot air balloons really freaked us out we were uploading videos and sorting out our profiles on our various accounts when we heard a rumbling and saw a big shadow cover our office. I looked out the window and all I could see was a huge elgas hot air balloon. We thought they left the suburb after they approached Parkwood from the Labrador area. as you will see they in the video and other pictures we have around the place find the links hereon they were in many cases inches away from trees and houses.

As you will see our photo pages this is not an uncommon site to see on the gold coast in Australia. Many a time we have been woken up in the past by this immense roar and we often think we are being invaded by aliens or something else strange like that. This latest elgas balloon incident had many of the neighbours running out of their houses, not long after dawn on Boxing day 26 12 2008 around 5.50 am only to find the hot air balloon mere metres above the ground. The hot air elgas hot air balloon captain was in control this time unlike the time the Hot tomato balloon landed on the street round the corner from us last year.

Sorry guys had help stuffing this vid up should have been tallpoppies.net.au
