Oh yeah. Right. NOW you're shocked.
I remember when this tragedy happened. All we could hear about was how wonderful Lance Hopping was.
Well he wasn't. He was an unprofessional bastard whose lack of common sense and misjudgment cost 11 lives. It's a clear case of pilot error - no fault of the balloon despite the critique of the maintenance record of the gear used.
No medical certificate and traces of cannabis in his system.
Professional he was NOT.
The grieved families have every right to be angry about this.
