Udgivelsesdato: Maj 08, 2019

At just past 7:00am on the 26th of February, 2013, near Luxor in Egypt a hot air balloon carrying twenty passengers and one pilot caught fire. The blaze – later found to be the result of a gas leak in one of the balloon’s tanks – engulfed the basket. The balloon was coming in to land at the time, and wasn’t far from the ground. The pilot, severely burned by the flames, threw himself from the gondola. A single passenger followed him. They would be the only survivors of what ensued.
