It appears a hot air balloon made contact with high-tension power lines before crashing into a pasture in Central Texas, killing all 16 on board, according to federal authorities who are investigating the worst such disaster in U.S. history.
A power line was tripped at 7:42 a.m. Saturday, and the first call to 911 came a minute later, National Transportation Safety Board member Robert Sumwalt said during a news conference. The crash site was near a row of high-tension power lines, and aerial photos showed an area of scorched land underneath. One witness described to The Associated Press seeing a "fireball" near the power lines.
The NTSB will look at all factors that might have played a role, including weather, but is concentrating on gathering "perishable evidence, the evidence that goes away with the passage of time," Sumwalt said, noting some of that is witness statements that can fade with time.
U.S. & World
"This wreckage will not be here more than another day or so," he added.
The pilot was Skip Nichols, 49, said Alan Lirette, who identified Nichols as his best friend, roommate and boss. Lirette said he helped launch the balloon, which was carrying a total of 16 people, none of them children. The NTSB has not yet publicly identified the pilot or the passengers.
The NTSB said the balloon was run by Heart of Texas Hot Air Balloon Rides. Nichols' Facebook page identifies himself as the chief pilot of that business, which does not appear to be registered with the state of Texas.
The passengers met the balloon operator in the San Marcos Wal-Mart parking lot at about 5:45 a.m. Saturday, and traveled to Fentress Texas Airpark. Ground crew members told the NTSB that they launched about 20 minutes after the expected 6:45 a.m. time, communicated with the balloon by cellphone and the pilot navigated with an iPad.
The balloon traveled about 8 miles from takeoff to crash, and the basket was found about three-quarters of a mile from the balloon material itself.
Caldwell County Sheriff Daniel Law and the Texas Department of Public Safety said in a statement that NTSB and medical professionals have said identification of the victims will be "a long process."
An online Federal Aviation Administration database said an Alfred G. Nichols of Chesterfield, Missouri, was medically certified to fly in 1996 and was rated a commercial pilot of lighter-than-air balloons on July 14, 2010. The rating is limited to hot air balloons with an airborne heater. Missouri records also listed Nichols as the owner of Air Balloon Sports LLC, based from the same Chesterfield address as the FAA record.
Lirette said Nichols went by the first name of Skip. Speaking to the AP from a house he shared with Nichols in Kyle, Lirette would not answer specific questions about the balloon's launch or its crash.
"That's the only thing I want to talk about, is that he's a great pilot," Lirette said of Nichols. "There's going to be all kinds of reports out in the press and I want a positive image there too."
Wendy Bartch, a former girlfriend of Nichols, told the Austin American-Statesman that he was "a good pilot and loved people," was cautious about keeping passengers safe, and had been involved with hot air balloons for about two decades.
Philip Bryant of Ballooning Adventures of Texas in Richmond, which also does inspections and maintenance for other operators, said the balloon had "very good equipment, very new equipment." Nichols brought his balloon into his inspection facility in May 2014 and was issued a one-year recertification, Bryant said. The manufacturer of Nichols' balloon mandates an annual inspection, he said, adding that he couldn't do it this year but believes Nichols took it to another inspector.
Bryant said Nichols told him he moved from the St. Louis area to Texas because there was less competition.
Numerous calls to Heart of Texas operations manager Sarah Nichols, 72, rang unanswered, and a woman in Missouri believed to be the pilot's sister did not return phone calls.
Heart of Texas' website said it offers rides in the San Antonio, Houston and Austin areas. The company's Facebook page has photos of a hot air balloon flying with a smiley face with sunglasses on it, people waving from a large basket on the ground and group selfies taken while aloft.
NTSB investigators will look at "three things — human, machine and environment," Sumwalt reiterated Sunday afternoon. The investigation will include the balloon's maintenance history and the weather at the time of the crash.
They also will look into whether the operator filed a passenger manifest before taking off, Sumwalt said.
Crews recovered 14 personal electronic devices, including cellphones, and iPad and three cameras, which will be sent to the NTSB's lab in Washington for investigation.
Margaret Wylie, who lives about a quarter-mile from the site, told AP she was letting her dog out when she heard a "pop, pop, pop" and saw what looked "like a fireball going up."
Safety investigators recommended two years ago that the FAA impose greater oversight on commercial hot air balloon operators, government documents show. The FAA rejected those recommendations, and the NTSB classified the FAA's response as "open-unacceptable," which means the safety board was not satisfied with it.
FAA spokesman Lynn Lunsford said it's difficult to say whether the Texas crash will cause the agency to reconsider NTSB's recommendations "until we've had a chance to gather and examine the evidence in this particular case."
Saturday's crash was one of the worst hot air balloon accidents on record. In 2013, 19 people were killed and two were injured when a balloon caught fire over Luxor, Egypt, and plunged 1,000 feet.
Associated Press writers Jim Vertuno, Jamie Stengle in Dallas, Emily Schmall in Fort Worth, Texas, and Chad Day and Joan Lowy in Washington contributed to this report.

funny cartoon eh?
footnote - just watched St Kilda v Fremantle, which the umpires contrived to make a draw. If the AFL don't award the match to Fremantle, the AFL will be judged incompetent as well. I hope we don't have those umpires at a Crows match!

What proposals do you want to see to reduce gun violence? Share them at CNN iReport, Facebook, Twitter, or in the comments below.
(CNN) -- When a set of recommendations to reduce gun violence hits President Barack Obama's desk on Tuesday, it will trigger a new stage in a decisive political battle consuming Washington. And it will show just how much America may have changed in the wake of last month's massacre in Newtown, Connecticut.
The proposals from a White House task force may include some with broad support on issues involving mental health. But one of the most intense flashpoints is already known: The group, overseen by Vice President Joe Biden, is expected to support reinstating an assault weapons ban.
"I would say that the likelihood is they will not be able to get an assault weapons ban through this Congress," National Rifle Association President David Keene said Sunday.
But the powerful gun rights lobbying group is gearing up for a fight, which, CNN has learned, will include an ad campaign.
"When a president takes all the power of his office and is willing to expend political capital, you don't want to make predictions," Keene said on "State of the Union."
Keene said he also does not believe Congress will pass a ban on high-capacity magazines.
The NRA argues that such bans won't help stop gun violence and that they infringe on Second Amendment rights.
But Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Connecticut, said the NRA's prediction is wrong. "I think that this issue is going to continue to move," he told "State of the Union," speaking from Newtown.
"The NRA does not represent gun owners anymore. This is not your father's NRA. It represents gun manufacturers," Murphy said.
While the NRA does receive large sums of money from gun makers, Keene insisted that manufacturers are "not our constituency."
"Our constituency is twofold," he said. "It's the American people who want to own guns and use them legally, and it's the Second Amendment itself."
Biden told reporters last week, amid meetings with a wide array of groups, that he had never heard so much support for "the need to do something about high-capacity magazines."
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who is pushing a ban similar to one that expired in 2004, has said she believes it will make it through Congress.
"All of the things that society regulates, but we can't touch guns? That's wrong," Feinstein said in December after 27 people, including 20 children at Sandy Hook Elementary School, were killed in Newtown by a gunman who then shot himself to death.
Numerous mass shootings have involved high-capacity weapons.
Obama set up the task force and instructed the group to have proposals by the end of January. Biden said last week he will have a set of recommendations ready for the president by Tuesday.
While the NRA, with 4.2 million members, holds a great deal of sway, it faces a country deeply concerned about the kinds of weapons that have been used in numerous mass killings. It's also facing a new foe: a political action committee created by former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and her husband, Mark Kelly.
Giffords was shot in the head in a mass shooting two years ago that killed six people.
"With Americans for Responsible Solutions engaging millions of people about ways to reduce gun violence and funding political activity nationwide, legislators will no longer have reason to fear the gun lobby," the two vowed in a USA Today op-ed last week.
Obama made clear Saturday that he's ready for a fight over how to respond to gun violence.
In his weekly radio address, he gave a list of challenges ahead, including protecting "our children from the horrors of gun violence."
"These, too, will be difficult missions for America. But they must be met," he said.
The Obama administration will try to pass an assault weapons ban, an administration official said Friday.
Sen. Joe Manchin, D-West Virginia, told CNN he believes that a ban on assault weapons alone, "in the political reality that we have today, will not go anywhere." A strong advocate for Second Amendment rights with an "A" rating from the NRA, he has expressed openness to changing laws but argues that other aspects of society should change as well. "It has to be a comprehensive approach," he argued Sunday on "State of the Union."
Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-New York, on Sunday called on the nation's largest gun retailers to "participate in a temporary moratorium on selling assault-style rifles until Congress has considered legislation to reduce gun violence," his office said in a statement.
"Since the Sandy Hook massacre, sales of assault-style rifles have skyrocketed and are poised to grow even further during an upcoming 'Gun Appreciation Day' organized by extreme pro-gun activists," the statement said.
The group behind the event, scheduled for January 19, uses its website to encourage Americans to "go to your local gun store, gun range or gun show with your Constitution, American flags and your 'Hands off my Guns' sign to send a loud and clear message."
Dick's Sporting Goods, one of the largest sporting goods retailers, suspended sales of certain semi-automatic rifles nationwide after the Newtown massacure.
Another likely point of contention between gun rights activists and those supporting stricter gun control is a call for universal background checks.
Biden has said several groups that his task force met with support such checks for all gun buyers, including those who purchase through private sales.
Keene has also told CNN that he does not support instituting background checks for purchases at gun shows.
He said Sunday the NRA does support the idea that people who are ruled mentally incompetent should be listed as not allowed to purchase firearms.
In the interview Sunday, Keene complained that Biden's panel didn't really listen to what the NRA had to say.
Despite promises that the task force had not reached conclusions before hearing from all sides, "the conclusions were reached," he argued. "We suspected all they wanted to be able to do was to say he had talked to us, and now they were going to go forward to do what they wanted to do."
Another question facing Biden's panel is how to tackle images of shootings in entertainment.
His task force met with leaders of the the film, TV and video game industries.
It's unknown what the task force may suggest as a response to what Obama has described as a culture that often "glorifies guns and violence."
@joshlevscnn @cnnpolitics Close the gun show loophole, ban assault weapons, make it a felony to own/use/carry one, and enforce these laws.— Susan Blumberg-Kason (@Susan_BK) January 13, 2013
Meanwhile, across the country, Americans of all stripes are debating the issue in person, in town hall meetings, and in social media.

Clemson rallies by Ohio State to win Orange Bowl shootout
- Tajh Boyd closed his college career by passing for 378 yards and 5 TDs and rushing for 127 yards and a TD
- Sammy Watkins set Orange Bowl marks with 16 catches for 227 yards and 2 TDs
- Ohio State blew a nine-point second-half lead%2C and coach Urban Meyer lost his first BCS bowl in five tries
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — As predicted, it turned into a shootout.
And fittingly, Tajh Boyd went out with a bang.
Boyd passed for 378 yards and five touchdowns in the final game of his career, leading Clemson to a 40-35 victory over Ohio State Friday night in the Orange Bowl at Sun Life Stadium.
Sammy Watkins also shined in what is expected to be his final game, earning MVP honors after setting Orange Bowl records with 16 receptions for 227 yards.
BOX SCORE:Clemson 40, Ohio State 35
WATCH:Clemson WRs make beautiful catches
It was Clemson's first BCS bowl victory and came 32 years after the Tigers' last triumph in the game — the 1981 Orange Bowl that gave Clemson a national title.
The victory also eased the pain of a 37-point loss to West Virginia in the Orange Bowl two years ago.
"Bad things happen in life," Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said. "Two years ago, we got our butts kicked on this field, but it's how you respond that matters."
Clemson responded in a big way, posting a bowl victory against a Top 10 opponent for the second consecutive year to cap the first back-to-back 11-win seasons in school history.
The Tigers (11-2), who entered the game ranked No. 11 in the USA TODAY Coaches Poll, also positioned themselves for a second consecutive Top 10 final ranking.
"I can't think of a better way to give back to the school than a victory in this game," said Boyd, who also rushed for a career-high 127 yards and another touchdown. "It was a very impressive victory for this team, this university."
WATCH:Late interception seals Ohio State loss
It was impressive, particularly considering where Ohio State (12-2) had been less than one month ago. The Buckeyes were ranked No. 2 and poised for a national title game appearance before stumbling against Michigan State in the Big Ten championship game on Dec. 8.
Clemson unleashed a potent offensive attack against the Buckeyes, but it took every yard and every point to subdue the Buckeyes.
The Tigers amassed 576 total yards, including 198 rushing — the most allowed this season by a Buckeyes defense that ranked No. 3 nationally against the run. Clemson averaged 7.6 yards per play and went 7-for-13 on third down conversions.
Boyd set the tone in the wild, back-and-forth affair early, scoring on a 48-yard run on the Tigers' first possession. He threw two touchdown passes apiece to Watkins and Martavis Bryant and a fifth to Stanton Seckinger.
Bryant stood out in what could be his final game, making a pair of acrobatic scoring grabs.
Boyd matched North Carolina State's Philip Rivers with his 18th 300-yard game and tied former Clemson quarterback Rodney Williams by posting his 32nd victory.
"He set the standard for every quarterback who will come through Clemson and he's done it with class and integrity," Swinney said.
The Tigers defense came up with the biggest plays with the game on the line.
Bashaud Breeland forced a fumble by Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller with 3:12 remaining, and Spencer Shuey recovered to help seal the victory, but the win wasn't secure until Stephone Anthony intercepted a Miller pass with 1:18 left.
Ohio State's Carlos Hyde had 113 yards rushing, but the Tigers limited Miller to 35 yards rushing. He completed 16-of-24 passes for 234 yards with two scores, but was under constant duress.
Clemson, which led the nation in tackles for loss, had 10 against the Buckeyes, including five sacks of Miller.
The Tigers also overcame 15 penalties for 144 yards.
"It was great to see how the defense and offense complemented each other all night," Shuey said. "They had our back all night."
The teams became the first Orange Bowl opponents to tally 35-plus points each, and the Buckeyes' 35 were the most by a losing team.
"It has been a long journey to get back (to the Orange Bowl), but we are Orange Bowl champs again," Swinney said. "And we are the first team from the state of South Carolina to win a BCS game."

Hey guys, here's another tutorial that ya'll will be very interested in. I was browsing through the dragoart artwork section and found a very nice drawing that Dizzy Duckie has done. It sparked an idea to make a tutorial on "how to draw a rose heart", step by step. Lots of people like to draw roses, especially teens and younger kids. They require skill to draw, so practcing various poses of roses would be better. Try sketching the base of the rose (which is the middle) before you try to tackle random areas of it. Keep an eye on how the proportions flourish as you continue the tutorial. Once you've practiced this tutorial a few times, you should master the steps on drawing a heart rose, enabling you to draw it on your own. I hope you all will enjoy this fun and pretty lesson. It's only a few months away until Valentines Day, so why not use this tutorial for a loved one? Anyways, It's time for me to get moving with other drawing lessons. Thanks so much for viewing and stay tuned for more adventorous drawing tuts! Peace and love.

Sapphic Erotica
- #1 Lesbian
What I like to see are pretty girls kissing and actually
having sex with each other. I like to see them fingering and licking
each other pussies more than using toys. But I think toys are also ok,
if that's not all they do. I also like seeing girls using strapons.
I especially like to see girls kissing, mouth-on-mouth, as lovers do.
I really like to see lesbian anilingus and ass-fingering.
