        @Steven_Pitt If I remember correctly it took up to 24 people. It's a big basket with four sections. Honestly I felt safe in it. So sad.

        @BBCBreaking hot air balloon has no defensive protector and loaded. A high risk ride.

        @BBCBreaking is it the same company recently highlighted in the Angela Rippon prog on BBC1; a balloon hit power lines & crashed in Egypt?
