If we're going to use this as an opportunity to pick on GrayBeard...
"Sources say the blimp was downed by an outraged conservative christian father after he was told that the ship was loaded with Harry Potter books."
Nothin' but love, GB. ;-)

In a freak accident, the last Spotted Owl in America was killed today by a blimp
FOX would say: "Blimp crashes"
NBC/CBS would say: "President Bush made plan crash"
The Hood crashes into the farm land. Residents fear gang activity.
Ya see, blimps don't run on hot air.

Quote:The blimps are filled with helium. The helium is maintained under low pressure, so small punctures do not pose serious consequences for the blimp. In fact, one inspection element of the blimps is to look into the envelope for pinpoints of light which are indicative of small holes. The blimps have infrequently been hit by small-arms fire from the ground. These incidents have not resulted in any serious consequences to the blimp or its crew.
The blimps are equipped with internal bladders in the envelope, and as the blimp ascends or decends these bladders expand or contract to compensate for density changes and to maintain uniform pressure in the envelope.

I was aware of that, but it wasn't nearly as funny.
"After seeing an improptu meeting of "The Hood" in the woods outside of Boston, the pilot of the blimp desided to give it more publicity. The Grand Dragon was unavaialble for comment."
