Smitty’s, Black’s, and Kreuz’s. All three top-notch. All three different. All three in Lockhart.

The Spanish station video has a computer simulation of the accident. Flew into power line, caught fire, ascended, explosion separated basket which fell.
Burned and dropped. Very bad.

It’s hard to compute, but from that pic, it looks like the fire started in the basket before it got to the balloon.

Speaking of power lines...Scary stuff Holy crap! Helicopter, high winds, high voltage, high altitude, what could possibly go wrong?

Prayers up for them. Horrible.
Looks like the spark made the gas bottles let go all at once.
Hopefully it was over quickly.
To: SnuffaBolshevik
Yep... would guess it was a propane issue. Horrible... that means the passengers were probably being burned to death as the balloon was crashing.
To: gop4lyf
This will be the worst lighter-than-air accident in the US since the 1930s.
What a ghastly way to go.

One crashed in Northern Virginia with 3 people a couple of years ago — burned to death. Horrible way to go.

I can’t imagine the horror they must have felt during those final moments. Prayers for all involved.
