Video shows the moment a hot air balloon collides with another in Turkey, sending it plummeting to the ground. The footage, shot by a tourist in the higher balloon whose basket caused a tear in the lower balloon, shows the air-filled sphere deflate and crash to earth. Three people died in the accident in Cappadocia on Monday

  1. Absolute madness. I can't fathom why tourists go up in these things in countries where there are little or no health and safety regulations. These cowboy balloon operators have blood on their hands.

  2. Like life jackets on waterways, parachutes should be worn by each person on a balloon …a small investment for higher chance of survival. Even many WWI balloonists worn them………..see how long its been known.

  3. Really poor piloting by the top balloon.  I don't hear the burners going trying to pull up… Crowding barely controlled balloons in the air makes little sense to me.  Condolences to the families of those lost.

  4. Correct Joe. Basket is filled (26 people) with tourist..I made that flight on 11/12/2014.Flighttime 45 min.
    Our basket was filled with people from Belgium,Spain and Holland.
