Fire in the sky!


Two people died and eleven where seriously injured as relatives watched from the ground when a Hot Air Balloon burst into flames over Western Canada in flight.

Passengers had to leap to the ground - some with their clothes aflame - to get out of the fire. The flaming balloon flew on to land near the U.S. border in an RV Park where it set three RVs and several vehicles on fire - no word as to anyone injured there.

My condolences and sympathies go out to the victims and their families and I wish for a speedy recovery for those injured. The senselessness of such a tragedy on what should have been a pleasurable afternoon defies all reason.
