"...The deadliest hot air balloon accident in history was the 2013 crash in Luxor, Egypt, that killed 21 people when it caught on fire just a few meters off the ground as it was attempting to land. Prior to that, the crash with the most fatalities was the Alice Springs crash in Australia's Northern Territory in 1989 that killed thirteen people when two balloons collided, causing one to crash to the ground.
In January, 2012 in Carterton, New Zealand, a balloon collided with a high voltage power line, caught on fire, and disintegrated, killing all 11 people on board.
Here are some other notable crashes from a report compiled by Travel Law Quarterly:
