Blame Bush. Seriously though, gotta be a fucked way to go. You don't hear about things like this very often. I never did like the idea of being up in a balloon, but never because I thought they would catch on fire.
I went up in one many years ago. Once was enough for me. And the basket of the balloon I went up in probably held four people comfortably.
If God had wanted you to ride in a damn balloon, you'd have been born with one. Though that would be pretty cool.
I would never get in one of those damn hot air balloons that leave you at the mercy of the prevailing winds with no control. But I would love to ride in a blimp. I wonder why nobody ever started making and using zeppelins again after the Hindenburg. They wouldn't have to use hydrogen these days. Huge zeppelins would be great for cheaply transporting goods as well as lots of other uses. Set up like for a cruise with gambling and entertainment Or a restaurant in the sky. Call it Fed Zeppelin. Who wouldn't want to start a life of married bliss in the wedding ship Wed Zeppelin? A Greatful Dead concert in Dead Zeppelin? Overnight stay in the deluxe hotel in the sky Bed Zeppelin.
