So I understand it happens now and then.
But certainly not every day. Dozens of these balloons are launched across europe but the Sky is a BIG place......

Still I would not like to think what could have happend.
Image at NIGHT......out of nowhere a large BANG and vibration.
That would get the adrenaline flowing no?

Any regulations as to where, and how often these balloons are launched.
How long they stay airborne?
