Happened a 100 meters away from our summerhouse in Slovenia. Rest in peace to the people that didn't survive.


How could this have been prevented, except not going?

Sad day for Slovenia.

Many factors played a role in this accident. First of all, pilot knew that storm was coming, he had accurate weather report and he still decided to fly. There are also rumors that pilot did not have a valid pilot license, but it is unsure for now, If he was the one flying balloon.


R.I.P.
& good luck to those who are still fighting for their life.
