KTBC Austin: Passage of Safety Legislation in Honor of Victims of 2016 Lockhart Crash

KTBC covers U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett's passage of his hot air balloon safety legislation.

We have successfully passed our aviation safety legislation in the House of Representatives in memory of those that lost their lives in the 2016 Lockhart hot air balloon crash. For the many who prayed and mourned the loss resulting from this unnecessary tragedy, know that you have been heard. We cannot bring these precious lives back. But now, with today's progress, we hope no more families will be exposed to the horror of a crash from an impaired pilot.
