Tragedy befell Caroline County, Virginia this Friday after a hot air balloon went down in flames with two young women inside. Virginia authorities have announced that there is another person missing from the burning balloon.
The balloon went out of control and careened into a series of power lines. The lines exploded upon impact, and set the hot air balloon into a fiery hell. Shortly afterwards, the basket and the balloon became detached from the contraption altogether, and have yet to be located. The two bodies were found, but authorities have refused to identify them for now.
This is a true tragedy, and it must be very heartbreaking for the friends and family members of these two victims. I hope that the third person, by some chance, managed to survive and is alright. It is always a terrible thing to hear when a tragedy like this happens to young people who have their whole lives ahead of themselves.
This is so scary. I can't imagine a person being missing from a hot hair balloon. I hope they find that person very soon.
ReplyDeleteIts so rare to hear about a hot air balloon accident. I can't imagine how scary that must have been for those who were in it as it fell. Hopefully they find the missing person.
