That's really cool! How did they transport the balloon & basket after it was deflated? Did they fold the balloon into the basket and load it onto a trailer or something? Did they have extra vehicles to bring the other passengers back? I know almost nothing about hot air balloons
They rolled it up into a big bag, then loaded it onto a trailer. Here, I got a photo. :)
