Buckey Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 Last night I said to my wife, hey look, there's the blimp. Man it shouldn't be in this terrible storm. Then it started to descend and crashed by my house. The pilots are fine though. I mean it was a viscous storm! http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/local/sou...-home-headlines
Puhonix Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 How exactly do you explain that? Engine failure isnt going to cause it to fall out of the sky.

Buckey Posted June 17, 2005 Author Posted June 17, 2005 Downdrafts and the weight of water on the blimp envelope 360944[/snapback] exactly. The pilots really fought to get it to go up, but to no avail.

We're neighbors. That's about 8 miles from me.
Rubes Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 Oh the humanity! 360947[/snapback] I was hoping someone else would say that.
Gavin in Va Beach Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 exactly. The pilots really fought to get it to go up, but to no avail. 360946[/snapback] Should have had ~NG~ hook them up with some viagara...
zow2 Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 If you have to be in an aviation accident....I'd take the blimp. That baby isn't coming down too fast. Good thing they use helium and not hydrogen gas to fill those things (ala Hindenberg).
