Fortunately there were only minor injuries, perhaps this will be the pin that finally pops the giant airship insanity balloon.

Amazon.com is said to be considering blimp/zeppelin “warehouses” in the sky.

Yeah, because airplanes never have accidents!
This might not have happened if they didn’t build in that stupid “safety-NAZI” stuff.

The Germans were always the only ones who were competent at building large airships. Goodyear was OK with blimps.
Looks like the Zeppelin semi rigid still has the lead for the current generation. (The current Goodyear ‘blimps’ are actually Zeppelin semi-rigids.)

The only “airship insanity” is the unreasonable fear of airships.
The Hindenburg disaster effectively halted meaningful development of the technology for decades. Hydrogen is no longer used as a lifting fuel — nor, are modern airships coated with rocket fuel, as was the Hindenburg.
