On July 19, 2025, in Stockholm, Sweden, @tamisman0 shared a video of a hot air balloon struggling during takeoff. In the video, the balloon appears to be preparing for flight but fails to ascend, instead floating just above the ground and eventually running aground. At one point, it nearly strikes a nearby child, who is quickly pulled to safety by a man. Later part the clip, several people can be seen pushing the balloon as it remains grounded and unsteady.
