A hot air balloon carrying 34 people crash-landed in a meadow near the village of De Hoeve in Friesland, northern Netherlands, at about 9 p.m. on Wednesday, 13 August. Local authorities said one passenger died and five others were taken to hospital with injuries. The Royal Netherlands Aeronautical Association told local media that a sudden gust of wind caused the balloon to descend rapidly and strike the ground forcefully, making the basket bounce and throwing several people out. Dutch aviation police have opened an investigation to determine the precise sequence of events and any safety shortcomings.
