DPS now confirms that all 16 aboard perished. Horrible way to end up a person's life. The balloon service has a fb page and until now had a website. The rides have been around for quite some time. We went on a ride some years ago, I was terrified, the basket only held 5 people crammed in. There is always a first and last time for everything, and I have had my first and last balloon ride experience. Condolences to all deceased, family members, and friends.

How high up did you go Capt Tom Brown? You probably wouldn't like it in a helicopter either.

It does PO1 William "Chip" Nagel. The bottom of the balloon was on fire when the police arrived, so it wasn't that the fir was a problem unless it caught the balloon on fire while up in the air. I'll listen for the news.
