Turkey’s Cappadocia: Two Spanish travelers murdered in air balloon accident
(MENAFN) Two Spanish tourists were murdered and three were wounded on Tuesday after the hot air balloon they were traveling in made a hard landing in Turkey’s Cappadocia, according to the local governor’s office.
The hot air balloon had taken off from the region of Avanos at sunrise, the director of Nevsehir province made a statement.
“During the landing of the balloon, which was carrying 28 passengers and two crew members, two Spanish nationals lost their lives, while three Spanish citizens were injured,” he went on to declare.
“The treatment of those injured is continuing in hospitals in our city and they are not life-threatening,” it added.
In line with the declaration, the accident was triggered by an unexpected rise in wind speed, in agreement with initial assessments.
Hot air balloon rides are one of the most popular activities in the Cappadocia district, where they fly over valleys and volcanic “fairy chimney” creations.
