HORRIFYING: Hot Air Balloon with 21 on Board in Brazil Erupts in Flames, Passengers Seen Falling From Sky (VIDEO)
A hot air balloon in Brazil’s Santa Catarina state was captured on video as it caught fire and plunged from the sky.
The burner appears to have caught fire and spread to the basket, causing the balloon to deflate. The basket seperated from the baloon and plummetted as the baloon slowly glided down over what looks like a construction site.
WATCH:
21 passengers were on board.
Santa Catarina Governor Jorginho Mello announced on X that eight were killed in the accident, and 13 survived.
Accident update:
21 people on board – 8 fatalities, 13 survivors.
Our teams continue to provide all necessary support to families and victims.
We continue to monitor the situation.
