Balloons Burst Into Flames

At least fifteen people were injured on Monday during a function at a private training institute in Chandigarh when a bunch of helium balloons released in the air caught fire and came crashing down on them. Many of those injured were students of the institute in sector 34, Chandigarh, the police said.

A hot air balloon burst into flames over central Texas on Saturday after apparently striking power lines and plunged into a field, killing all 16 people aboard in one of the deadliest such accidents on record, police and eyewitnesses said.

Rescue personnel on Sunday located the body of the third and final victim from a hot-air balloon that burst into flames upon its descent in the US state of Virginia.

A second body was recovered on Saturday from the crash of a hot air balloon carrying three people that drifted into a power line and burst into flames in front of hundreds of horrified spectators.
