Rescue teams are searching for more injured after a hot air balloon crashed in Brazil.
Horrifying footage shows the moment the balloon caught alight and rapidly deflated before crashing to the ground on Saturday morning.
There were 21 people on board the balloon floating above the city of Praia Grande, around 670miles (1,081km) south of the capital of Brasília.
Of those on board the balloon, eight people died and 13 others survived – but there are concerns more people could have been injured at the crash site.
Jorginho Mello, Governor of the Santa Catarina state, said: ‘We are all shocked by the accident.
‘Our teams continue to provide all necessary support to families and victims.
‘We continue to monitor the situation.
‘We are in mourning. A tragedy has happened. We will see how it unfolds, what happened, why it happened.
He went on to ask for authorities in the state to ‘do as much as possible to rescue, to help, to take to hospital, to comfort the families’.
Praia Grande is a popular destination for hot air ballooning. During the month of June, the activity becomes more common during festivities which celebrate Catholic saints such as Saint John.
It’s been less than a week since another hot air balloon fell in Sao Paulo state, killing a 27-year-old woman and injuring 11 others, local media reported.
