EXCLUSIVEBrits watch on in horror as giant hot air balloon packed with terrified tourists crashes down onto Turkey's famed 'Fairy Chimney' rock formations after freak gust of wind

Two Britons watched on in horror as a giant hot air balloon packed with tourists slams into Turkey's famed 'Fairy Chimney' rock formations after a freak gust of wind.

Rebecca Horsfall, 31, filmed the shocking moment the basket holding 20 tourists and two pilots crashed into the rocks of the Love Valley site in Cappadocia, Turkey, around 6am on Saturday.

'Suddenly people were screaming and running to the edge of the valley,' Ms Horsfall, who went to a scenic lock out spot with her partner Kieran McDonnell, 30, to take pictures for social media at sunrise, told MailOnline.
