This is why I don't go on hot air balloons.
The lovely balloon that floats over my house all the time apparently exploded into a massive fireball last night and crashed right down the road from us. That's really horrifying, and I feel so awful for those people. The last report said that 2 out of the 13 people on board died.

I've posted pictures of the balloon here before.

Yeah.. we read about that yesterday. Tragic.
I don't think that I'd let this accident prevent me from ever riding in a balloon though. The price, maybe; but not this.

The price actually wasn't that bad for this one, probably because they cram 13 people in at once. Just a few weeks ago we talked of going when my Mom was in town.

They have home videos of it posted all over the internet now.

I think it's the soaring heights in a basket part that would keep me away. That is some scary stuff even when it isn't on fire.
