Man, I can honestly say that I have never heard of a modern blimp going down. Very tragic.
If the statement on the side of the blimp isn't irony, I don't know what is.
Yep, there is also a video floating around, not a very good one but s=you can watch the thing plummet to earth like a rock.
Oh boy I know where this thread is going. (I am predicting Uncle Ockie is going to make a huge post, praising the airships).
