New video shows balloon falling from sky

New video shows the horrifying moments leading up to a deadly hot air balloon crash near Luxor, Egypt Tuesday.

In the amateur video you can see smoke coming from the balloon right before it collapses and falls to the ground.

19 people were killed and two others, including the pilot, are in the hospital.

An official believes gas canisters on board caught fire and exploded, but it could take weeks to figure out the actual cause.
