It's like Digs said. Vague story. The old story was just "filler". At least this time nobody died.

I remember the two who died in the helium baloon. A couple were getting high by getting inside a small baloon replica, never intended for flight, an advertisment gimmick, at a local bussiness.
The bussiness now uses a forced air replica baloon.
The two incidences are not related, and the "Crash" stort" was not worth a news story, it was a hard landing, very common. Just some Jimmy Olsen, cub reporter, filling in a worthless newspaper.
Note: Helium can kill, But this "accident" was no Hindenberg.
Lutz is just outside of Tampa, next to Land O Lakes, a popular baloon take-off area.

Daily Horoscope for January 6

Cancer

You could struggle to display your feelings and emotions at the moment. Being so sensitive, the smallest things could hurt your feelings, but no one else is likely to realise since you retreat into your shell at these times. This will not be a conscious decision, and you'll feel frustrated at your inability to explain the hurt you suffer.
