BURLINGTON, Wis. -- A hot air balloon pilot and two passengers from the Chicago area were seriously hurt when the balloon crashed into a moving train in Burlington, Wisconsin Wednesday. According to police, witnesses said the balloon was in distress before the crash about 8:15 p.m. in Burlington, about 40 miles southwest of Milwaukee. Police said the 62-year-old pilot reported that the gondola touched down and the balloon became entangled with a northbound Canadian National train as he tried to land in the 400-block of Calumet Street.

Reminds me of that incident a few months ago where a Cessna (small airplane) made an emergency landing on the tracks and then got struck by a train. Pilot was pulled from the wreckage just seconds before the impact and survived.
