Solunars by Aldebaran Sidereal Academy

This occurred January 7, 2012, 7:22 AM, near Carterton, NZ, at 41S01"04", 175E32'42". All 11 people aboard died. Pilot error (probably because blood tests showed the pilot was higher than the balloon) led to entanglement in power lines during an attempted landing. This started a fire that ultimately destroyed the balloon (reascended to about 500 feet).

It was New Zealand's deadliest air disaster of any kind in 49 years. Among balloon disasters, it ranks fourth deadliest in the world.
