Draft a live TV report of Le Horla’s take off.

Now I am standing in front of the gas works of La Villette where Le Horla is about to take off. Almost three hundred people have arrived to witness this mesmerizing event. The crowd is roaring. The passengers are ready for the ride. You can see their excitement. They are taking barometers, eatables, raincoats, overcoats, siren and two trumpets with them. Finally, Captain Jovis calls everyone to get in the basket. Lieutenant Mallet jumps aboard and the rest of them too. Oh my God, the basket is not moving. So M. Eyries gets out.

Now Le Horla is ready for the ride. The passengers are waving at the crowd. The weather is good. Under M. Joliet’s command, the rope that connects the balloon with the ground has cut. Wow! What a marvellous sight to see! Like a bird, Le Horla is flying very majestically in the sky. Le Horla is heading to Paris, as you can see in the visuals.
