A hot air balloon crashed in a Melbourne front yard on its maiden journey.

There were a dozen passengers on board at the time – none were injured.

This is what it was like for those on board the hot air balloon that made a crash landing in Elwood this morning. The basket hits a building before crashing into the trees. (Language warning) @9NewsMelb pic.twitter.com/X4xDCQCJCw
