KKOB-AM forced off the air after hot air balloon accident
KKOB-AM, an all-news station in Albuquerque, New Mexico, which operates with 50,000 Watts on 770 kHz, was forced off the air for a time yesterday when a hot air balloon carrying two child passengers became entangled in its 700 feet high transmission tower. The passengers, aged 10 and 14, and 69-year-old pilot Bill Chapel were taking part in the annual Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. The three were able to climb down to 100 feet, where they were met by rescue workers with safety gear. The Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board are investigating the incident. http://medianetwork.blogspot.com/ |
