49 year old Stephen Lachendro of Butler, Pa., was killed when his hot air balloon crashed into power lines and burst into flames on Friday in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Lachendro’s ballooning partner Keith Sproul of North Brunswick, N.J., was critically injured. The crash happened during Albuquerque's annual balloon fiesta.
Munnsville, NY resident Dwight Cramer runs Airborne Adventures Ballooning (http://www.flyairborne.com/). Cramer says that hot air balloon accidents are rare.
“There is a little bit of risk with anything. Driving down a road is probably more dangerous than flying in (this) balloon. It’s very smooth and very calm.”
