That video is incredibly anti-climactic. No smoke, no fire, no crash.

It doesn't even look like a blimp.

You some sort of Commie? Blimps are Americana, Bud. Call me when a sandwich shop is named Dronie. Didn't think so.

Are we sure that was not an homage to Tiger Woods' career?

Soaring high one minute....broken back and crashing into a tree the next!

I hope the blimp will be properly marked with a coin like object before it is lift,cleaned, and placed.

Decent enough for the upvote.



My take away from the videos is...why the hell weren't more people looking up at the falling blimp in the videos. Only seemed like the group filming noticed it.
