Sa disparition laisse un trop grand vide.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:right\"><strong><em><span style=\"color:#888888\">Last Wednesday, during the International gas balloon race Gordon Bennett (Bristol\/England), one of the three American crews (Richard Abruzzo and Carol Davis) disappeared from the screen radar while flying over the Adriatic Sea between Italy and Croatia. During four days important aerial and nautical rescues were deployed to find them, without any success. Richard Abruzzo was native of Albuquerque. Fascinated by aeronautics competitions, he has won the Gordon Bennett Cup in Thionville (France) in 2004. Victim of a serious gas balloon incident during America\u2019s Challenge in Albuquerque in 2005, he had fought to walk again while everyone thought he would stay on a wheelchair. We invited him as a president for the last edition of the hot air balloons gathering in Thionville (France) in 2008. His disappearance leaves a deep void.<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mercredi dernier lors de la Coupe Gordon Bennett de ballons \u00e0 gaz, au d\u00e9collage de Bristol (Angleterre), l\u2019un des trois \u00e9quipages am\u00e9ricains (Richard Abruzzo et Carol Davis) a disparu des \u00e9crans radar alors qu\u2019il survolait la Mer Adriatique entre l\u2019Italie et la Croatie.
