hot air balloon accident
one woman died and another was injured when they fell from an air balloon in Germany.

20minuten.ch - Frau stirbt nach Sturz aus Luftballon - Kreuz und Quer

When some passengers exited a balloon after landing the baloon took off again with 2 women hanging from it s side. One fell from 2 metres and injured herself, another hung on and fell off from 10m


Very sad

oh, dear... that's right near the airfield I fly at (Worms... yes, that's a real name). I'm in the USA on vacation so I didn't hear about it yet.
