South Carolina - Dozens of witnesses watched in horror on Sunday as a hot-air balloon deflated high over Anderson and came crashing down into a tree in a residential neighborhood. The pilot, Chuck Walz of Munith, Mich., survived the fall and was in guarded condition at Anderson Area Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries, said Andy Baird, president of the Balloon Federation of America. Walz was less than two hours into a navigational contest as part of the Great Southeast Balloon Fest when his balloon fell into a tree at 1703 S. McDuffie St. at 8:27 a.m., Baird said. More...
