NZ Balloon Crash kills 11 :(

A terrible day for ballooning and aviation in NZ, they're calling it the worst disaster here since Mt Erebus with 11 people dying after a hot air balloon made contact with some power lines this morning and went up in flames. http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/6224922/Hot-air-balloon-crash-near-Carterton-kills-11 RIP.

Is 11 a lot to have on board? 5 couples it would seem and the pilot.
