Wow! Pretty daring rescue. Thank God everyone survived.

A little bit about Benny Abruzzo; he was the right person to lead the rescue:

Benny is the son of the late Benjamin L. “Ben” Abruzzo, who was part of the three-man team that made the first crossing of the Atlantic Ocean in a balloon in 1978.

Benny said Saturday’s rescue was a job that called on skills he has developed throughout his life. “I am an ice climber, a rock climber and a mountaineer, and all those skills came in handy,” he said. “It was difficult, but well within the things I have done before.”
