A hot air balloon in Luxor, Egypt carrying tourists, crashed
Tuesday morning, killing 19 people.
BBC News reports that a landing rope caught on and dismantled
a gas tube that triggered a fire and caused the balloon to crash.
The balloon was up almost 1,000 feet in the air before it
was sent to the ground.
The pilot and one other person survived the crash by jumping
out of the balloon basket.
Egyptian authorities are investigating the crash and have
suspended balloon rides near Luxor.
