Count Apraxine balloon. Flight attempt 21 June 1891 from St. Petersburg. Balloon launched prematurely during inflation with four ground crew workmen, without the pilot, climbed rapidly and burst at great height. The four men were killed on impact.
As part of the festivities of Whit-Sunday [...] a balloon belonging to Count Apraxin was to ascend. While it was being filled the ropes gave way, and four workmen who were entangled in the meshes to the net were rapidly carried away. One of the four, who had managed to extricate himself, jumped down from a height of 70ft, and was a dead man the minute after he fell on the ground. At a height of 150ft the ballon burst, and a moment later the other three lay on the ground with fractures skulls, breathing their last (Nelson Evening Mail, Volume XXV, Issue 213, 8 September 1891, Page 2 online).
