The inhabitants of Brazil cry a terrible tragedy.
A hot air balloon crashed on June 21 in the municipality of Praia Grande, Brazil, making eight people who died and 13 other injured, according to a press release of the government of Santa Catarina.
The ball, which transported 21 people, including the pilot, according to the press release, landed near a health center. No one was missing.
After the fatal incident, the governor of Santa Catarina Jorginho Mello– Who was on an official trip to China at the time of the accident – conferred his condolences to the victims and their families while emphasizing his commitment to investigate the issue.
“We are in mourning,” said Mello in a video published on X (formerly Twitter) June 21, translated from the Portuguese. “A tragedy has occurred. We will see how it happens, what happened, why it happened. But the important thing now is that the structure of the state does what it can. ”
