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 . . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4giVFPop-9A . |

Could be Narnie.... I have heard of the dangling mooring ropes catching on wires?
  Terrible tragedy whatever the cause  At least the media didn't report it as a gyrocopter accident tho.... they would have over here _________________ I do all of my own stunts..... most of them are even planned!

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. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_b ... death_toll I would still go if I got the chance. . |
