A loving family of three was recently torn apart under the most tragic circumstances.

Sources from local media outlets were quick to mention how the family had embarked on an exciting hot-air balloon ride. But things did not quite go as planned.

Many are describing it as the hot air balloon ride from hell where a loving 50-year-old dad and his 38-year-old partner were killed just minutes after they took a family portrait with their daughter on board the hot air balloon.

Within seconds, the balloon could be seen bursting into flames, leaving onlookers in a state of complete and utter shock.

Miraculously, their little daughter managed to survive and is now being treated for her critical injuries at a nearby local hospital. Sources revealed how the teen became so panicked that she had no choice but to jump out of the burning balloon.

That did save her life but it resulted in her bones getting broken completely as she battles for her life in the hospital.

She is also covered with serious burns but doctors claim she is expected to survive, despite the drastic injuries that cover her body.

The accident reportedly took place on Saturday in Mexico City. And it claimed the lives of two victims who appeared so happy and excited to take part in the ride. But little did they know that it would be doomed and it would be the last of the rides they ever took.

The video of the dramatic and tragic incident featured the hot air balloon transcending down slowly, moments before it rapidly bursts into flames.

The video also showed other occupants appearing to either fall or jump from the aircraft nearby.
