Well usually hot air balloons are safe but there are times that things happen unfortunately.
Well this is really sad! You have to wonder how safe flying in a hot air balloon really is. Yes, it may seem cool and all that, but is it really the safest choice of entertainment?
I can believe that. I think hot air balloons are really scary and not very safe. Good thing this doesnt happen very often.
How does a landing cable making contact with a Helium tank start a fire? Tourists' attractions in third world countries do not have the regulations like ones in the U.S. do. I feel so terrible for them and their families.
I always used to ride in a Hot Air balloon but then i started thinking of the what ifs. Like the bottom falling out, starting on fire, the wind catching it, or falling. No i have fully decided that i am not going to ride in a Hot Air balloon.
