Balloon Breaks Loose Over Stadium During Halftime Show
An 11 year old boy Rick Snyder from St Paul was swept into the sky by a runaway 25 foot hot air balloon during a halftime event in Minneapolis. The balloon drifted three miles to the Mississippi River where he swam 25 feet to shore and was picked up by a passing motorist. He returned to the game between Minnesota and San Francisco of the NFL. The boy said he was not scared though his parents worried. The balloon’s mooring line snapped as crowds of 43 000 watched the red and white craft drift away from the stadium.
