The colorful hot air balloon unexpectedly lands in Kelowna’s store
The balloon had six occupants and no injuries were reported
A hot air balloon surprised many when it landed at MTS on Leckie Road in Kelowna on Thursday morning.
At around 8:15 a.m. on July 30, the hot air balloon hovered over the vendors on Enterprise Way in the immediate vicinity of the buildings.
According to the RCMP, the abrupt landing was unscheduled, but not due to an emergency.
“I think they wanted to go to Spring Valley Middle School,” said a local official.
“The wind knocked them down this way and so they weren’t in need, but had to land.”
Six occupants were on board. No injuries were reported.
