BEIJING: A Chinese man has been rescued after floating in the air for over a day after he lost control of a hydrogen balloon that he was riding to harvest pine nuts, state media reported.<\/p>\n

The man, identified as Hu Yongxu, had been picking pine cones in northeast China’s Heilongjiang province last Sunday (Sep 4) with a fellow worker when the balloon “suddenly rose uncontrollably”, official broadcaster CCTV reported Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Hu’s colleague jumped out of the basket in time but Hu got stuck, beginning a nerve-wracking, 300km journey in the air.<\/p>\n

Hu immediately called his brother-in-law, saying he was scared of the height and that “everything he saw looked like ants”, according to an interview with the brother-in-law by state-run Zhejiang Daily on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Video footage from multiple Chinese media outlets showed a pale balloon bobbing in the sky over pine forests.<\/p>\n

CCTV said police made contact with Hu the following day, and instructed him over the phone on how to safely deflate and lower the balloon.<\/p>\n

Hu landed successfully in a forested area, but rescuers continued to search for him as his “phone location service was inaccurate”, CCTV said.<\/p>\n

Hu was finally rescued on Tuesday morning, and is “in good condition, aside from light injuries on his back”, CCTV reported.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
