'We're just fortunate we made it out alive': Kentucky couple's Las Vegas sightseeing trip turned into a nightmare when their hot-air balloon crash-landed in the desert.
Tom and Shawna Stenton, of Louisville, Kentucky, were planning to enjoy a relaxing sightseeing tour of Las Vegas last week -- but the day turned into a nightmare when their hot-air balloon crash-landed in the desert, ejecting the pilot and leaving them to fend for themselves.
Sitting side-by-side in wheelchairs, the Stentons said they're still recovering from the Sept. 12 hot-air balloon crash that injured several others and left one passenger in critical condition. "When we popped up, it was, 'Where is everybody? Where's the pilot?' And then panic. 'Where's the pilot?'" Shawna Stenton said.
"Tom's a hero. He won't tell people, but I mean, he landed that balloon. We ended up on the ground and I don't know where we would have been," Shawna Stenton said.
