How does an airship crash? I thought they floated.

It went down, it didn’t crash.

Did it crash or just have to land in Pennsylvania?

The Goodyear blimp is loaded to be slightly heavier than air with the engines keeping it aloft. If the engines break it will gradually come down. Maybe this was the same and it lost engine power.

I read about the Polish terrorists who hi-jacked a blimp outside of New York City and have so far rammed 25 high rise buildings!

They worked better during the Civil War.

It’s either George Bush’s fault or global warming or obesity.

Take your pick.

They float until they come down. Then they softly crash.
