Hot Air Balloon Makes Emergency Landing In MBTA Parking Lot

Commuters got quite the shock Tuesday morning when a hot air balloon had to make an emergency landing in an MBTA parking lot.

Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority police said the balloon was trying to land in an open field on Tufts' campus, but a strong wind gust knocked it off course Tuesday morning forcing the pilot to make an emergency landing in Grafton's MBTA parking lot.

The incident is still under investigation.
