Balloon disaster at Santa Ana ends with two survivors
Two men escaped injury after a 40 story balloon launch failed in Santa Ana. Flight commander Jean Pierre Pommereau leaped onto the gondola and cut loose the mooring lines to prevent a dangerous lift off. Malcolm Forbes and Dr. Thomas Heinsheimer praised the action as heroic while observers evacuated as oxygen cylinders raised concern. Unfavorable winds kept the craft grounded as investigators assess damage and a new attempt is planned within 30 days.
