Three rescued from balloon crash.

Three people had to be rescued from a hot air balloon, after it had crashed into some over head power lines in Northamptonshire.

The canopy of the balloon got in tangled in the over head power lines, as the pilot was trying to land into a playing field.

Firefighters had to wait for a long time for the power to get turned of to make it safe for the rescue to begin.

The passengers were stuck 15 metres in the air for almost five hours, but fortunately no-one was badly hurt.
