cbs4boston.com says actually it crashed in Manchester-by-the-Sea, next town over. Maybe nr border... yeah I was anticipating those Hindenburg jokes!
>>The Hood Blimp, a fixture in the sky over the Boston area, crash landed in the woods in Manchester-By-The-Sea Tuesday afternoon.
CBS4 has learned the pilot lost control of the rudder, then tried to beach the blimp, but ended up landing on several trees.
The pilot appears to be o.k. He is now in the process of deflating the blimp so it can be removed.

"Deflating the blimp?" Gee, I didn't know you could do that with Rosie O'Donnell?

LOL at that picture.
Doesn't Kerry Healey live in Beverly?

Actually, it looks more like a hot air ship than a blimp.

My guess is that the thing was in the process of deflating itself before he got this far.

From the picture, I'd say the Hood's encroaching on rural areas.
