studios in orlando came to a sudden stop last night. riders were stuck at a 90-degree angle more than 150 feet off the ground. it turns out there was a glitch caused by the computer system and so the ride went into safety mode. it stopped the ride, but no one was hurt. a horrifying turn of events in a hot air balloon festival in albuquerque, new mexico. one hit a power line and caught on fire. it was 40 feet in the air and came crashing to the ground with both the pilot and the crew chief inside. both men were burned. imagine this nightmare, you come home to find your underground pool is actually above the ground. this happened in florida. ground water had pushed the pool out of the ground and then, to make matters worse, the insurance company, perhaps no surprise here says they won t pay for it. assuming you have coverage and the coverage isn t actually there when you go to file a claim. this problem, we understand, could take years to resolve.
150 feet off the ground. imagine that. it turns out that a glitch caused the computers to go into safety mode and that stopped the ride literally in its tracks. fortunately no one was hurt. finally, a horrifying turn of events at a hot-air balloon festival in albuquerque, new mexico. one hit a power line and caught fire. this balloon about 40 feet in the air at the time came crashing to the ground with the pilot and crew chief inside. both men were burned and spent the night at the hospital. their injuries, though, could have been a whole lot worse. but listen to this. when residents saw this crash, they all rushed over and used water bottles in order to put out the flames. how about that? and those are your headlines at this hour. those hot air balloon festivals are so popular in that part of albuquerque. steve: stay away from the power lines. thank you very much, heather. elisabeth: coming up, a school district making kids wear hellments on helmets
