Every safety regulation began as a tragedy…
rehinna? or rihanna?
This is very symbolic in Mexico. The hot balloon fell down. The sun was with it?
Another reason not to go on those death traps
At least it wasn’t an active shooter like every other week in United States. Mexico is way safer.
This ain’t the USA. I guessed from the start it’s just a guy who wants to make a quick buck and doesn’t care about safety or permits.
I guess your best option is jumping into a tree 🌲
Only in Mexico do celebrities get inside unpermitted air balloons.
Why do people continue to get in to these death traps? I’m asking for a friend.
The “NO Smoking” sign must have been in English.
What a way to go…trapped between a frying pan and a hard place.
scratch that off my bucket list
Guess I will cross this off my bucket list
The parents probably died holding eachother burning. Horrible situation. Similar to burning buildings. Do you burn or jump.
My condolences to 2 families in my 🙏
My condolences 😢
yeah it's MEXICO.
Rest in Peace 🙏
How horrible!!! I would have wrongly assumed that the ballon company had all of the correct permits and inspections. The company owner and ballon pilot should be charged with manslaughter.
And that’s another reason I won’t go up in those death traps.
I love that the celebrity made it about them and how they couldn't do anything. XD like fu no one cares about you or what you didn't do for these people.
🎉 closed doors …
That's why I don't do those things 😂
Boy I'm glad my azz is boring. All these deaths from seemingly safe activities.
Imagine having to chose jumping out or dying.
Omg so sad how horrific 🙏🏾♥️perhaps they also need precautionary measures , like emergency parachutes ! All balloon companies should have that in place , once your up there , there is no where to go but down 😢🙏🏾🙏🏾
Poor people God Bless them 🙏🏼😔
The balloon looks like the wind caught it when it was on the ground and it drug the passenger basket through a barbecue grill on the ground, setting it on fire as it was taking off out of control according to a video on TikTok
Natural selection. Why tf would you go in a floating basket and risk those children’s lives over your selfish desires? Some people shouldn’t have kids 🤷🏽♂️
I didn't know they got that hot.
Well, guess i aint EVER going on a hot air balloon
They had to be americans otherwise why would american news cover It? But anyway if they're americans good😉👍🏻 3 less Americans we have to worry about un this world,but if they're not then i wish them all the best & a speady recovery. God bless there souls if they're not americans…
So who is being charged
Horrifying.
Quick shutes …should have been implemented…
