I'm trying to imagine what would make the propane tanks go up like that.

Not sure I'll be going up in one again in my lifetime. That is such a fluke though, do they know what happened yet?

Our old neighbors were balloonists and if you crewed with them you stood a chance of getting a ride. Ray the youngest almost got his ride crewing at an airshow a couple years ago. But he missed getting picked. So instead he got a ride in one of them fast as hell Bell helicopters. The pilot was a chopper pilot in Vietnam. So you can well imagine the ride he got.

dB, I didn't know that happened in your neighborhood. Someone at work was talking about a Balloon that landed in neighborhood, that must have been yours.
