New video has been released of a hot air balloon crash that killed three people in Virginia last May.

Two University of Richmond women's basketball team staff members and the pilot of the balloon were killed. The balloon drifted onto the power line and caught fire before crashing to the ground.

The two passengers were Ginny Doyle, 44, associate head coach, and Natalie Lewis, 24, director of basketball operations. The pilot was Capt. Daniel Kirk, who had more than 20 years of balloon flying experience.

Witnesses at the scene said Kirk did everything possible to try and save the doomed flight.
