If it caught fire in the air they were all dead before it hit the ground.


Depends. How long does it take to burn to death and how long for a deflated balloon to crash?

It's usually the carbon monoxide/lack of oxygen that kills you rather than the actual fire.

They might have suffocated. Fire consuming all the nearby oxygen.

Very sad.
