Three sightseeing balloons have crashed at a popular western Wyoming tourist destination, injuring as many as 20 people, officials say. Weather apparently contributed to the accident, the sheriff says.
Two of three sightseeing balloons that crashed Monday, Aug. 3, 2020, are seen in an open area of Jackson Hole in western Wyoming. Between 16 and 20 people were hurt, officials said.
CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Three sightseeing balloons crashed Monday in a popular Wyoming tourist destination, injuring as many as 20 people in what one passenger called a terrifying few minutes. “I couldn’t believe how beautiful everything was,” Phillips said. “And then we were in hell a few minutes later. It was crazy.”“It was lifting us up and slamming us back down again,” Phillips said.
“Our captain fell off while we were in it,” Krayevski told the newspaper. “We bounced and went back up in the air by ourselves. The captain was yelling to pull the red ropes. We tipped over and we had to get out because of possible fire. I got out and people were laying on the ground hurt.”
