ISTANBUL, Safar 25, 1436, Dec 17, 2014, SPA -- A Chinese tourist was killed and nine others injured when the hot-air balloon they were traveling in crashed in the popular Turkish resort of Cappadocia on Wednesday, Reuters cited news channels as saying. Chinese and Malaysian nationals were on board when a sudden gust of wind caused the balloon to fall heavily to earth as it was trying to land, CNN Turk's website reported. Cappadocia, in central Turkey, is famous for its geological features called fairy chimneys, and balloon rides are a popular way to see the cone-like formations. --SPA 13:25 LOCAL TIME 10:25 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
