That must have been painful for her, it sound like it was a very rough landing. They have been known to land on their side

They are such a picture to look at,when high in the sky.

I have seen a couple land,when they aren't supposed to.

One in a field..one near a main road,.

It seems once that starts,they can't seem to get them back up.

Not from the two that I witnessed,.any idea why?
