more to go: up?...and speaking of up: Tourist Dies in Fall From Hot Air Balloon YOUNTVILLE, Calif. (AP) - A foreign tourist fell to his death Tuesday from a hot air balloon floating as much as 500 feet above a winery. The victim, whose name and nationality were not released, was hanging onto the basket as the balloon was being inflated, and when it began to rise, he did not let go for some reason, Napa County sheriff's Lt. Jean Donaldson said. The victim fell and landed in an asphalt parking lot. Donaldson said the ballooning company had canceled morning flights because of the fog. It was filling the balloon and sending it up just to let tourists take pictures. Detectives believe the pilot could not hear the crew's warning from below because of the noise created by the balloon's burner.
