It happened last Tuesday in the village of Majiagou eco-tourism, Shandong province, China. The proceedings of the incident were recorded by witnesses and spread at breakneck speeds on social media.

In the clip shared on Weibo, one can see an elementary school woman and girl sitting on two separate chairs mounted on a hot air balloon. This vehicle looks very sketchy, does not even have a basket to protect the safety of passengers.

As expected, the first time traveling with a balloon by the mother and son became a terrible mistake when they claimed the lives of both of them. The Oriental Daily reported that a hot air balloon normally flies at an average altitude of 1,000 to 3,000 feet (304 to 914 meters), but in this tragedy, the report said the balloon’s altitude reached 10,000 feet (3). , 04 km).

The balloon increased altitude and then almost disappeared

Flying to an extraordinary height, the flying vehicle became almost invisible and eventually exploded. The South China Morning Post recounted that a hot-air balloon’s ties were broken and that was the reason why the vehicle kept flying and exploded.

The 31-year-old woman and her daughter are the only passengers on the flight. We were in the air for about 2 hours before falling to the ground.

The body parts of the victims were later found scattered on the ground where they fell. According to local authorities, doing balloon service in Majiagou ecotourism village is illegal because it has not been registered. Currently, the organizer for this service is suspended from operation and facing criminal sentence.
