ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – A hot air balloon toppled a radio tower west of Balloon Fiesta Park Friday morning.

The balloon hit a KKOB radio tower at 10511 Second Street NW sometime after 9 a.m. The aircraft was able to continue flying and no one was injured.

Balloon Fiesta spokesman Tom Garrity told KOB 4 that the balloon broke a tension wire and the tower collapsed.

This is the same tower that was hit by the Smokey Bear balloon twenty years ago yesterday.
