It is currently unclear what exactly caused the tragic crash.

Emergency services are understood to have rushed to the scene to help injured people following the horrifying ordeal.

Hot air ballooning is a popular activity for tourists in central Turkey.

The region is home to attractions such as the “fairy chimneys” in Cappadocia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Terrifying footage shared by the Ilhas News Agency showed the deflated balloon descending from the skies, with its passenger basket lying sideways.

Emergency services could also be seen nearby, tending to injured people.

It comes as the latest in a string of recent aviation disasters.

On Thursday, Air India Flight AI171 smashed into a doctors’ hostel in Ahmedabad, killing at least 279 people.

A Boeing Dreamliner headed for London Gatwick was captured on video descending shortly after takeoff and then erupting into a terrifying fireball.

A Brit was the sole survivor of the disaster after he walked away from the blazing wreck where over 279 people perished.

His brother, who was seated just a few seats away, is feared dead.

The following day, another Air India flight had to execute an emergency landing due to a bomb threat, occurring just hours after the dreadful Ahmedabad crash.

Flight AI379, which was en route from Phuket, Thailand, to New Delhi, India, was forced to return after authorities received a bomb threat.

On Sunday, seven people including a toddler died after a helicopter carrying Hindu pilgrims from a shrine crashed in the Himalayas.

The chopper reportedly crashed within just minutes of taking off on Sunday, during what was supposed to be a 10-minute flight.

And last week, six people died after a plane slammed into the ocean off the coast of San Diego.

The aircraft went down in 200 feet of water after taking off on the afternoon of June 9.

The horror crash occurred near Point Loma, a peninsula in San Diego that juts into the Pacific.

Officials with the Federal Aviation Administration confirmed the plane was a twin-engine Cessna 414 carrying six people.
