Firefighters in Longview, USA, rescued two individuals after they became trapped near the top of a 300-meter radio tower.
Rescue teams were alerted when the people were spotted at a high altitude above Gregg County.
Authorities began climbing the tower, and with the help of 14 firefighters, the two were moved from their basket onto the tower and then gradually lowered using ropes.
The operation took approximately four hours.
No serious injuries were reported, and a specialized climbing team later removed the balloon from the tower.
