"He swooped down and saved us-in a hot-air balloon!"

When their raft capsized, Geeneva Moraandarte and Roman Jackson were stranded in the middle of nowhere. Their phones were useless. Just as they were losing hope, help literally dropped from the sky!

Geeneva Moraandarte and Roman Jackson were enjoying a leisurely raft ride down Seattle’s Green River, when they heard a pop. A large branch had punctured a hole in their raft, and within seconds, it was completely submerged.

The couple swam 100 feet to shore but found themselves surrounded by a dense, treacherous forest of sharp blackberry brambles. There was no way they could safely go through it. One cellphone had been damaged; the other couldn’t get a signal. They were stranded.

Then, all of a sudden, a hot-air balloon appeared floating high above them.
