Storm above Checkpoint Charlie

They were in the semi cab underneath the captive balloon which offers a beautiful view of 150 meters on the former border crossing between East and West Berlin. Typically, at least, not to sit as the weather.

A sudden storm front caused as much consternation as turbulence in the air. According to eyewitnesses, the passengers had to squat down and cling not to be thrown overboard. The operator of the type managed by the strong wind minutes not safely to the ground to pick in the balloon. Eventually they succeeded, according to the police with difficulty. A number of people got onsite medical assistance. It is not known whether they have suffered an injury.
