Incorrect information in news. The balloon was not tethered above ground. It was super windy and the balloon caught fire as they were still inflating it....because of a gust at the wrong moment. The mostly inflated baloon was getting blown down onto the crowd. Pilot was screaming to the stunned crew to "pull the line" to release the balloon from the bumper of the van. A festival goer was standing next to it and set it free. Pilot then navigated the burning baloon over the crowd and stage to crash into a nearby hill. The mind blowing part were the people gawking with phones out while the burning material was being blown towards them before the balloon was airborn
Very very smart pilot kept his cool stayed calm and kept everyone out of harms way
