Re: Hot Air Balloon Accident in Brazil kills 8 people, 13 survive

Pilot survived and said the basket caught fire and he brought balloon close to ground and said "jump". some jumped, some didn't. I would guess the 13 survivors jumped and then the basket rose again and became fully engulfed, falling 200 feet in a flaming basket doesn't look healthful. Moral of the story, when you are on a flaming balloon, jump first before the balloon soars again after it sheds mass / people.
Somebody had to do it...

I’ve always wanted to go on one, but these videos always cross my mind when I think about it.

Re: Hot Air Balloon Accident in Brazil kills 8 people, 13 survive

Speaking of being afraid of heights, if you're a fellow pants-pisser-more-than-10-feet-off-the-ground like me, try watching a movie called Man on Wire. This is a documentary about a guy who strung a line between the two world trade center buildings and walked back and forth several times. I've not been able to finish watching it, my ass puckers the moment he starts the walk and I tap out.
I might be wrong but I believe that guy was Philippe Petit.

Idiot "pilot."

You could tell from the sketchy-as-fuck incompetent setup and abortive take-off that things were not about to end well.
