Hot Air Balloon Narrowly Avoids Hitting Ohio Home and Lands on Lawn

Video captured the moment a hot air balloon narrowly avoided hitting an Ohio home.

The balloon was taking part in a festival when it went off course. Four people onboard hovered over the city of Massillon when the balloon needed a place to land.

Operators could not find an open field.

Ring doorbell footage showed the balloon inching closer to the roof of a house, barely avoiding it as the burner let out a hiss.

The aircraft floated down to safety and landed on a front lawn. Residents watching the scene unfold erupted in cheers.

The family whose lawn the balloon landed on was not home. They were on their way to the balloon festival.
