Above the highway, from a low height, hangs in his hands - this is how documentation of the hot air balloon disaster in the Jezreel Valley that occurred this morning (Tuesday), in which Yogev Cohen, 28, from Kibbutz Jezreel, died.



According to the owner of the "Touch the Sky" company, Almog Amir, the young man was hung on the handles of the ball for a reason that has not yet been determined.

Preliminary investigation of the incident revealed that the ball owners noticed the young man as he was hung from the outside immediately at take-off, however the ball picked up speed and quickly rose to a height.

As soon as the crew noticed what was happening, they tried to land the ball on the other side of the road, and tried to put the killer in, but he slipped and fell on the road.



Yogev Cohen is a younger brother to three sisters.

His parents are veterans of Kibbutz Jezreel.

The kibbutz said that he was supposed to finish his job at the balloon company and today he was supposed to sign a work contract in one of the branches of the economy in Israel.

One of the passengers of the hot air balloon from which Yogev Cohen died told Walla!

Cohen did not leave the basket on the sides of the ball after they rose from the ground, and that it was difficult to land due to a high voltage line.

"We started hearing shouts: 'Let him get in the basket' and 'Hold on.' But we did not see him, because he was on the side far from us."



She said, "He fell and we saw the body on the road. It is horrible. Unnecessary death. In my head I had the pictures of the people in Afghanistan who were hung on the planes and fell. It is a terrible end."
