I can see the possibility of this technology replacing cargo ships, especially for cargo ships that might be targeted by pirates.Because it worked so well the last time.

Popular Mechanics did an article on that, and Mythbusters confirmed PM’s theory.
It wasn’t the hydrogen, it was the coating the German’s used on the blimp that primarily was responsible for setting the whole thing off.
I’m sure modern standards would minimize this risk. The only real risk I see is somebody taking pot shots at it.
The Blimps this fellow is making in The U.S. are not exactly like the airships of yesteryear. He is using a hangar at the old Marine Corps Air Station in Tustin, as his base. They are actually pretty intriguing, and I hope he makes a go of it. Thanks.
