Hot air balloon catches on church steeple while landing
No injuries were reported when a hot air balloon tipped over and draped over a church steeple during its landing in Greene County Saturday morning.
According to Emma Saul, part of the balloon’s chase crew, the basket had already touched the ground near the Saint Ignatius Catholic Church on Grant Street in Bobtown when extra material on the balloon kept moving and caught the steeple, causing the basket to tip over. The balloon was flying with several other hot air balloons as part of the Balloons Over Morgantown event held Friday and Saturday in Morgantown, W.Va.
