- Four people are dead and a fifth is critically hurt after a hot air balloon crash Sunday morning in Pinal County. Eloy police say it happened around 7:30 a.m. in a rural desert area about five miles north of the town. The mayor of Eloy said that 13 people - eight skydivers, four passengers, and a pilot - had been in the balloon, which was operated by Droplyne Hot Air Balloon Rides. Before the crash, the skydivers exited the gondola. Witnesses told officials that the balloon was straight up and down before a hard impact.

My heart goes out to family
Why do pinkish even go up on balloons.
Isn’t going golfing fun enough for them
Terrible tragedy. My heartfelt condolences to the families.
ohhh nooo😢😢.. those poor people.. how absolutely terrifying that must have been for them🥺🥺🥺.. this is just unbelievably sorrowful.. terrible terrible tragedy.. so very sorry to hear this..
You're absolutely correct
what they must have thought right before they knew they were going down😩
Q....now why would anybody take up EXACTLY 13 people
Theirs a reason why most buildings DO NOT HAVE A 13th Floor
because bad things are linked to the #13
So sad😢🌹
We will miss you cornelius, thanks for helping chris you will be remembered
my worst nightmare
CONDOENCES, PRAYERS❤
Blessings for the souls who died, the injured person and their families also
The winds are insane all over why go out 😮
I'm so sorry this happened. Hugs to their loved ones 😢🫂
Did everyone in the basket know there was a problem? Or was the problem after the skydivers jumped out? Could the skydivers have helped the people without chutes? What happened?
It happened after the skidivers jumped.
How many hot air balloon crashes have you heard of lately? Quite ironic, isn't it?
Why is it ironic? Have there been others recently?
Ironic in regards to what, specifically?
@@bombaybeach208 "Basically, something like this is unexpected and very strange. There might have been other factors at play because you don't hear too many stories about an air balloon blowing up or malfunctioning in this way. And of course, with a few people dying, it's a very different situation."

@@bombaybeach208.. hes eluding to this being a knock off or insurance scam
dam like 15 miles from me
i know the pilot, the one who also sadly died there. it was cornilius i dont know if i got the name right but he was a great guy, he made many people happy and its very sad that he passed away at a young age. fly high.
He was mentioned in a video of ChrisDaCow with over 300k views. He had helped him skydive from 10,000 feet.
They were a very experienced team, with good and cool people, sad things happen I guess. Rest In Peace Cornelius and 3 members of his team.
One of the victims was a good friend
Those things are death traps.
Yup..insanity
People there's other things to do stop doing stupid things just because you have money.
Your exactly right
Hot air balloon rides are affordable they have them here in Illinois in the summer all the time...
Prayers for the families 🙏🙏🙏🙏
What! There have been many accidents in that area sky diving specifically geez
It's the biggest skydiving drop zone in the country. It's also the safest, accidents happen unfortunately. But there's tons of jumps done there everyday thats why you always hear about it in that area.
Came from a minecraft achievement irl video and Cornelius was the one flying the TH-camrs hot air balloon
So very sad. 😢
Rip Cornelius and his crew
They were definitely filming from their cell phones , they should release the footage
realllyyy who fucked that up
Her choice of words! “Ford, you’ve been on the ground…”
Some ppl just need to stop flying so close to the sun.
😂
Dumb. Dumb. Dumb.
Rip 😣
Well...that doesn't sound like fun to me. I wonder if there are some juicy cellphone videos that survived?
🙄
Is this a high-risk activity?
Dangerous sport
I wasn't born with wings so that's why i stay on ground
Rip Cornelius, but atleast he's in a better place now, and thankfully ChrisDaCow wasn't there
This is so sad
They were a very experienced team, with good people, sad this had to happen :(
Hello ground control to Major Tom… 🙈😳
Still don't get how a balloon steers.
Which is why I was always skeptical of hot air ballons. A wish and a prayer is all you have up there
Skydivers were like ✌🏻 out!
R.I.P Cornelius 🫡🫡🫡
Always carry a strip of police tape in case you need a prop..
"Plans put on hold"? Um, she died dude. This is some fox news level of reporting 😂
Can't imagine that many people in that gondola
i came here from Chrisdacow. Sad tho :(((
Play stupid games win stupid prizes...
😢
They need an investigation to determine what happened?!
Gravity. That’s what happened.
Fools chose their deadly adventures and paid the price.
Anyone pretending to be surprised deserves no credibility.
There were to close to sun ☀
Devastating Air Balloon Crash wish they all had Sky Diving Suits on ..😢
Its a risk
Dogg come on man.
Stop allowing these death rides to occur. Sheesh!
This happened two days ago why do you lie and redo it this isn't the read the news outlet someone doing something to read me
Oooohhhhh well Keep your feet on the ground
Something is weird about this idk it’s sus
Pushing the Envelope
Ban hot air balloons
They said her name 10 times, let me guess...the other 3 that died were men, who cares about their names right..
Can you report the facts... like just the facts without the theatrics?
