New Zealand is in mourning - a day after a hot air balloon accident killed 11 people near the town of Carterton on the North Island. On Saturday the balloon hit power lines and burst into flames before crashing to the ground, killing all on board. Police have cordoned off the scene of the crash, as they undertake the grim task of removing bodies. Here, cars sit parked where the victims had left them a day earlier as they arrived for the balloon ride. In this small community, the tragedy is just setting in. Mourners brave the rain to attend St. Mary's Church in Carterton. Reverend Jenny Chalmers says everyone knew the balloon's pilot. The area's annual balloon festival was due to start in a few weeks. However, some are concerned that balloonists would pull out of the event in light of the tragedy. (Andrew Raven, Reuters) ◆ 追蹤更多華視影音及圖文新聞：
