Egyptian authorities have launched an investigation after a hot air balloon crashed 1,000 feet to the ground, killing 19 tourists who had taken a sunrise flight near the ancient city of Luxor.

The balloon is believed to have caught fire and exploded on Tuesday morning, plunging into a sugar cane field west of Luxor, which is 320 miles (510km) south of the capital, Cairo.

I would be scared to be in a hot air balloon, that is truly a nightmare.

That video. Damn.

Hard to even imagine the terror experienced by those in the Basket.
At least some people survived, which is incredible in itself.

Condolences to the families of those who lost their lives.

:sleepy: Such a depressing day...

They should add parachutes inside hot air balloons in case something like this happens again.
