A dramatic high-angle rescue unfolded after a hot air balloon basket carrying two people struck a cell phone tower roughly 920 feet above ground in Longview, Texas. Longview Fire Department crews and multiple assisting agencies were dispatched around 8:15 a.m. Specialized rope operations began about 35 minutes later due to the extreme height and complexity of the incident. Rescuers made contact with the stranded occupants around 10 a.m., finding both conscious and reporting no injuries. Members
