At least Peple died when a hot air balloon caught fire with 21 passengers in Southern Brazil on Saturday.
Santa Katrina State Governor Jorginho Mello, where the incident took place, took her to X to express her condolences.
In a video, he said: “We are in mourning. There is a tragedy. We will see how it comes, what happened, why it happened. But now the matter of imports is what it can do for the state structure.”
Melo said that he has asked the authorities as the head of the municipality “as much as possible, to help the hospital, to take to the hospital, to relax the families.”
The video carrying by Bitanders and a Brazilian television was shown when the flames of the balloon Priya Grande exploded in the flames over the coastal city of Priya Grande. The weather conditions were clear as the basket carrying the passengers dropped it at a distance of dozens of meters in flames.
Priya Grande on the Atlantic coast is a popular destination for hot-air ballooning in Brazil, which celebrates Catholic saints like St. John during the June celebration.
This is the second deadly balloon accident in the country in a few days. Less than a week ago, a woman during a warm air riding a hot air in the southeast Sao Paulo state.
