That's incredible! Makes the transportation nerd in me be fired up with jealousy! And fortunate that no one was hurt, the pilot and the helpers really did a great job jumping your house. Was there any reason they told you why they had to make an emergency landing? Maybe I missed that part.

But it looks like the gondola is lop-sided from the video. Is that it? Seems like the whole neighborhood came out to watch the spectacle :D

    He said the winds died down, and he didn’t have enough fuel to keep it up any longer, so he had to set it down. The gondola being lopsided was only once everyone had gotten out and the pilot was the only one in there. It was a big basket too. There were 13 people on board (including the pilot).
