Until Eight people died and 13 others were injured on Saturday after the ignition and subsequent fall of the hot -air balloon in the south -image state of Santa Catarina. Jorginho Mello, Governor of Jorginho, confirmed on the X Social Network. According to AP and AFP, TASR reports this.
The ignition of the balloon in the air was captured by several witnesses in the area. The balloon ignited high above the ground and the flames were completely absorbed in a few seconds. The construction was then separated from the structure for the crew, which fell freely from a height of several meters.
The balloon accident in Brazil also occurred last Sunday when one woman died in Sao Paulo and 11 other people were injured. The AP writes that the flights of hot air balloons are popular in some parts of South Brazil, especially during the June celebrations of Catholic saints, for example during the feast of St. John.
