Astrology of the hot air balloon crash in Egypt

British, French, Hong Kong and Japanese nationals are among 19 tourists reportedly killed in a hot air balloon crash near the Egyptian city of Luxor. The balloon was flying at 1,000 ft (300m) when it caught fire and exploded, plunging onto fields west of Luxor, officials said. The crash happened on one of the many dawn hot air balloon flights that give tourists an aerial view of Luxor's famous sites, such as Karnak temple and the royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings.

According to reports the hot air balloon took off at 6 am and the accident  took place at around 7 am local time. A horoscope for the take off  is shown above. The Sun (8pi)  is just rising (1pi) with Venus (0pi) and Neptune (3pi).  In ancient China, the  asterism, Wei  that included theta and Pegasi and alpha Aquarii (6pi33,1pi36, 3pi04) presided over tombs, graves, death, tears and cries. South west of Wei was Hiu-Liang, (8pi-9pi) The Funeral Mound Bridge. It was the bridge to get to the burial ground. The asterism presided over graves, tombs, mausoleums and uninhabited places. This as readers can see constitutes a perfect description of the Valley of Kings. [1]

At 7 am,  a  retrograde Mercury conjunct Mars  (19pi) was rising on the Ascendant with Moon (12vi)  in a forming opposition.  This is a combination that is easily associated with travel accidents. Mars and Mercury are conjunct Pi Pegasus of the Flying Horse and Moon is conjunct Al Suhail (11vi23) of the Celestial Ship Argo and epsilon Antlia (11vi11)  of  the Air Pump – an airship!

As Robert Hand points out

The actual images of the constellations made up by the stars are not equal 30-degree segments. They can vary from about 15 degrees to over 45 degrees. And not only that, but they do not have distinct boundaries (except for arbitrary ones created by modern astronomers). They can overlap, and there can be gaps between them.

It is because of this that the images shown above come together at  around 11 Virgo to produce an airship.

In addition,  the chart at Luxor for the exact Mercury-Mars conjunction that took place on Feb 26 at 9:09 UT has  Jupiter on the Ascendant (9ge04) forming a T-square to Sun-Neptune in tenth opposite  Moon (14vi) conjunct the star Mizar of  fires, explosions and catastrophes.
