"Air Supply Cut in Blimp Accident

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (AP) -- Two workers killed inside an experimental blimp at an airport hangar apparently suffocated after ordering an air pump shut off, authorities said."

(snip)

See, this time it is different. The workers ordered that their own air supply be cut off.

Don't forget the pre-rollover accident of a blimp in Ohio (as reported by the Cleveland Plain Dealer). Computer problem caused it to wilt to earth.

They are dead . What do you think the company is going to tell the authorities ? " The truth is out there " ; you just won't hear it when it's Y2K , AND lives lost could equate to lawsuits pending !!! Eagle

After a bountiful Thanksgiving, Christmas and now consuming my prep's, I am now also a blimp. Not sure if I'm Y2K compliant...........might have to do a crash an burn........
