Legacy MattersTourists killed in hot-air balloon accident in China
A hot-air balloon has exploded and crashed in one of the most popular tourist spots in China, killing four Dutch tourists and injuring three people.
The group of five Dutch tourists and two balloon pilots had floated for about an hour over the dramatic karst hills that rise up around the town of Yangshuo.
As the balloon was preparing to land, it developed a leak, caught fire and crashed to the ground from a height of about 150 metres.
