Bystanders in the town of Bedford in England helped avoid a hot air balloon disaster.

The hot air balloon was seen trying to land on an incredibly narrow street lined with cars, poles, and wires.

A few dog walkers rushed into action, using a guide rope thrown down by the balloon's captain, to help it make a near perfect landing between the parked cars.

Thankfully nobody was injured in the incident.

“People watching said it was the most remarkable video.”
