Nasty hot air balloon crash in NZ - 11 dead
« on: January 06, 2012, 03:29:23 PM »
Sounds really horrible, balloon clipped power lines, basket caught fire, shot up before the balloon caught fire and it all came down in a ball of flames. One couple jumped to their deaths to avoid burning. 11 people dead :(

Ugly.
Petals floating by,
      Drift through my woman's hand,
             As she remembers me-

Oh that just suckd. Tragic. The couple jumping to their deaths didnt go well with my coffee this morning. :(
Forgot who said this while trying to take a base, but the quote goes like this. "I cant help you with ack, Im not in attack mode" This is with only 2 ack up in the town while troops were there, waiting. The rest of the town was down.
