Thats right! The TSB has to start from square one, by learning how hot air balloons operate before they can continue their investigation.
This is the first hot air balloon accident that I’ve ever heard of. It’s a shame that two people died in this incident. I’m confident that the TSB will find a cause and prevent this from ever happening again.
