At the international cup for aeronautical sports in Minsk, there were two unpleasant incidents.

Direct observers of today's morning launch of air balloons told the news agency Avia.pro that the short flight led to two incidents, at the same time, quite dangerous, associated with a risk to health and life. One of the aerostat pilot, not calculating the flight altitude, touched the computer network cable with the balloon basket, as a result of which, according to eyewitnesses, the basket tilted strongly, which almost led to its overturning. It is noted that at the same time, the cable of the local computer network was damaged, which disabled the network for 46 computers.

The second incident occurred literally in 10 minutes after the first one - one of the balloons almost hit the hospital building, flying just a few dozen centimeters from the telecommunications antenna located on the roof of the building, and given the high speed of traffic, the incident could end very tragically.

Among other things, the opening of the international aeronautical sports competition, which was to be held the previous evening, was canceled due to a strong wind, which naturally caused discontent among the spectators.
