“We watched the whole balloon come down and we didn't know what happened until we took off right after the balloon came down,” Turco told WBZ-TV.
“Big pieces of LEGO were everywhere, kids were crying, there were tons of people in the office, some with ice on their heads and people let their kids steal the Lego pieces as souvenirs. It was pure chaos. I didn't know anything about the actual events until after the incident,” Turco continued.
