Blimp Goes Down During Thunderstorms
From Times Wire Reports
A Goodyear blimp crash-landed in an industrial park in Coral Springs, authorities said. The two people on board were not injured.
The “Stars & Stripes” blimp went down shortly after taking off from its base at Pompano Beach Air Park. The blimp lost most of its helium and was draped across some orange self-storage units in the industrial park. Its nose remained pointed into the air.
There were thunderstorms in the area at the time, authorities said. The Federal Aviation Administration was investigating.
