Photographs from the 2012 tragedy, which led to the death of 11 people in Carterton, New Zealand, have been released to the public in the hope that they can....
prevent similar disasters in the future. The graphic images, only a few of the 600 taken of the incident by Geoff Walker, document the precise moment the balloon struck a set of power lines (left) and instantly burst into flames (centre). In the final and most disturbing photo, a shrivelled and burnt balloon is swallowed by the surrounding plumes as it plummets to the ground (right), while the basket is unrecognisable behind the inferno.
Sad!
