Balloon Deflation Video

The arrival of the balloon in Woodinville resulted in a previous post of the balloon flying in and another of the crew once the balloon was on the ground.  I didn’t just shoot stills during the post landing time, though.  I also decided to get a little video of the process of deflating the balloon.  I was surprised how long it took but, while there is a large vent on the top of the balloon, once the envelope is lying on its side, the vent is no longer at the top and the air needs to be squeezed out.  Here is the video I put together.
