Of all the ways to go, in a flaming hot air balloon must be one of the worst

Takes going down in a blaze of glory to a new level. The pain and height would suck, but at least I knew I'd almost certainly have the most memorable death of anyone I knew.

Some romantic balloon ride.

Hijack

Hey Titus

Burning to death is my biggest fear so jumping is a good call

quote:

---

Do you jump and at least have a rush before you die or sit and burn while listening to your SO scream and burn? I say jump.

I want to say I would jump, but in that situation I would probably be searching for possible ways to survive, and staying in the balloon as long as possible gives you better odds.

So I guess I would stay until it was definite that I was going to burn to death if I stayed any longer, then I would jump

The basket may have burned out at the bottom and made the decision for them.

Sucks either way.

Do you jump to your death or burn up.

Try to sniff as much carbon monoxide as possible so as to pass out.

I feel like they wouldn't have jumped unless they were in exruciating pain from the fire already.

Welp, I'm scratching that off my bucket list now, fack

I'm going on a hot air balloon ride in AZ in a week and a half...

I imagine the WTC was so much hotter than that balloon, people were probably burning up before the flames even got close to make them leap to their death.

I will never forget seeing that (people jumping to their death) on *live* television.
