Balloon breaks loose at game in snow near stadium
A 25 foot hot air balloon broke its mooring during a snowstorm at a football halftime show in Minneapolis carrying a one year old boy three miles before landing in the Minnesota River. Rick Snyder of St. Paul was rescued by a passing motorist and returned to the stadium to finish the game between Minnesota and San Francisco. The balloon rose when his mother stepped out, was kept aloft by a torch, and narrowly missed light towers as it drifted away.
