A hot air balloon knocked over a radio tower in Albuquerque, just one of a few dangerous mishaps during this year’s big hot air balloon festival. The 52nd Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta took place Oct. 5-13, filling the New Mexico sky once again with dozens of hot air balloons. On Friday morning, Oct. 11, one of the hot air balloons collided with a radio tower and caused it to collapse.
It was the second time in 20 years that a balloon had come into contact with that tower.RELATED: Watch magical moment man proposes under dreamy purple auroraElsewhere, other dangerous mishaps at the festival took place.
