Apparently, one or both engines caught fire and the pilot was bringing the blimp in for an emergency landing. Once the airship was close to the ground, all the passengers jumped. The airship, having lost all that ballast, suddenly shot approximately 500 feet into the air where the pilot burned to death before the blimp went down.
No doubt. Burning to death would be a horrible way to go! At least he saved the passengers!!!!
Damn! Thats terrible. Poor guy. RIP
What a terrible way to go!
