I thought hot air balloons typically only carried 3-5 people.

There are commercial balloons that can carry quite a load. Unfortunately, those types tend to go up even when conditions are not all that favorable. If there was even a hint of a storm getting anywhere near this area that could have caused some winds, the pilot should have refused to launch.
