The man who shaped the history of hot air balloons - BBC News

[@Spectre10139]

My condolences to The BBC for the loss of one of your beloved Friends who was tragically shot dead by police in south London today NOT!

[@lillianliu6289]

It is horrendous!

[@cronicjointpain1]

No gun control argument so it's not important.

[@ddd-ly3rv]

Its what balloon dreams are made of.

He's a nice gentleman. My mother worked many years for him. And built a few special shapes balloons. And flying in them.is amazing. Like a slow magic carpet ride.

[@KamiTenchi]

He's the man!

[@Paulo-fg7yq]

The women who sew these ballons are unsung heroes. Seriously, imagine if you fail at it? On top of that, they have amazing artistic skills to put all these pieces together correctly.

[@jbagger331]

Very sexist, no men sew?

[@Paulo-fg7yq]

@@jbagger331 Your comment is a gross misreading. Did you even watch the video? It only shows women sewing. Also, Don himself says "ladies" when referring to the sewing team. And, if anything, my comment is clearly anti-sexist, because I'm praising women and saying that their role deserves recognition when media tends to focus on the "man in charge", which IS sexist.

@@jbagger331 1. You copy and paste my first comment. 2. You throw a grammatically incorrect sentence that says nothing. Pure nonsense. 3. You expect that someone will buy that you made a point.

I expect about 4 or 500 people to show up in Parliament square and party when we are finally rid of the bbc tv tax 👍🏻

[@joebloggs5186]

Great. Informative human-interest story. See how well the BBC does when it informs instead of preaches? (and not a Trump Blimp in sight. That must have taken a lot of restraint. Well done)

[@ShredCo]

I never understood how they steer hot air balloons?!

There's no way to - you're at the mercy of the wind.

1) Christian nation 2) Spoken English 3) Nice people 4) Wealthy country 5) Less Racism Do you guys think this country does exist in the world? I assume "Canada" might be the country where those five factors can be fit in. What do you guys think? Am I right?

[@tutyhasjim4170]

Can balloon fly in an always hot humid weather area?

[@Shaun.Stephens]

Yes.
