A hot air balloon crash in New Zealand killed 11 people—the pilot and all the passengers. The crash reportedly resulted from a fire on board the balloon, though the cause of the fire is unknown. A police official said, “This is an absolutely tragic incident and our thoughts are with the families of the deceased. We are in the process of notifying next of kin. However, we will not be releasing any names until all next of kin have been advised.”
