    Any idiot could tell that the way the balloon was sitting over the top of those vehicles and as soon as they let it go (accidentally or purposely ) it was going to wipe them out.

    According to one of the interviewees thay had been asked to move the vehicles as there had been a shift in wind direction. They were in the process of doing this when the mishap occured.

    For keen LR spotters to the right of the shot you will see a Defender 130 well out of harms way .

    Didn't the driver know not to park down wind?
    Whether it's a Fart or a Space balloon, you never park down wind
