Couple dies after balloon catches fire in Mexico
Yesterday, a selfie photo of the family taken moments before the hot air balloon caught fire was circulating on social networks when it was learned that the trip was a surprise birthday present that Regina and her father had organized for Viridiana. Reyna Gloria Sarmiento, Regina’s grandmother, told the local press that the teenager had not yet been told that her parents had died. She added: “It was the birthday of my daughter Viridiana, Regina’s mother, and they had prepared this trip as a surprise for her.” Saying that her granddaughter was “conscious” and stable at the hospital, Gloria also revealed that she had hugged her parents before jumping from the hot air balloon.

Images of the tragedy taken by a bystander showed the hot air balloon deflating as flames engulfed the basket below where the Mexican family enjoyed their ride. The viewer could be heard saying in Spanish, ‘My God, people are falling’ as one person fell to the ground. It was not immediately clear if that person was Regina or the pilot of the hot air balloon who is said to have been the second person to jump from the basket when she was engulfed in flames. It was believed that her whereabouts were still unknown today/yesterday.
An investigation into the tragedy is ongoing. Initial local reports said it could be related to a fuel storage system failure. Officials from the city council of Caujimalpa de Morelos, west of Mexico City, where the family came from, said in a statement: “We send our condolences to the family, friends, and acquaintances of José Nolasco and Viridiana Becerril, who died in the Teotihuacan Hot Air Balloon Tragedy”. Our solidarity and prayers are with Regina and we wish her a speedy recovery.”
