Its being reported that a Hot Air Balloon accident has killed 16 people.
Reports are it caught fire. Horrible.

That would be a horrible way to go , and 16 deaths , I didnt know they could carry that many people .

Looks like they got tangled in power lines according to this video .

CBC now saying it hit powerlines http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/texas-ball ... -1.3702587

I have never been in a H/A balloon but always wanted to try it , I always thought they were very safe but on second thought there have been over 30 accidents with 150 deaths since 1970's , 5 hit power-lines and 3 hit towers or tower support wires.

I would still go if I got the chance.
