At least 16 feared dead in fiery Texas hot air balloon crash
In 2013, a hot air balloon caught fire in mid-flight over Luxor, killing 19 tourists.
The accident was later blamed on a gas leak.
It came four years after 13 foreign tourists were injured when their hot air balloon struck a communications mast in Luxor and crashed.
