[19th LA Inf]

Back in the '70s there was a good movie "Black Friday" and even better book by the same title. A "disturbed" ex-military pilot, played by Bruce Dern, flies a blimp for sports event coverage. He decides to make a statement by wiping out as many people as possible, so he designs a bomb to be carried beneath the blimp passenger compartment, where it will scatter a load of lethal shrapnel over a football stadium full of victims at the Super Bowl, where he will be the solo blimp pilot. I found the story and the movie to be very convincing, and sort of an eerie comparison to the amateurish Boston marathon event 40 years later.

Well, the title was "Black Sunday", not Black Friday.

Strangely enough, I saw a blimp while out for lunch today. Oddly colored with no other markings. Not a usual sight out where I live.
