Gangabiss, the balloon took about a minute to hit the ground, I think the pilot was trying to descend to check out some animals, but overcooked it with the venting flap on top of the balloon. It was more of a controlled descent as opposed to a bone crushing accident. I used to have a whole sequence of it going down, but I can't find the other shots.
