Newsstand - Runaway blimpView Full Version : Runaway blimp l'etoile Jan 9, 01, 8:14 pm This isn't really in the news yet, but I suspect it will be ... A blimp broke free from its lines today at OAK and was last known to be heading west. My husband's FAA facility received notice about it, but I haven't heard anything else about it. Anyone else heard anything? RichG Jan 9, 01, 8:39 pm Ya want news??? I'll get ya news!!! It was the "Spalding Blimp", promoting the XFL, and it crashed into a waterside restaurant in Oakland. No injuries, but lots of helium-filled clams. http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/news/010901_nw_blimp_ax.html l'etoile Jan 9, 01, 10:43 pm Thanks for the link RichG. tom911 Jan 10, 01, 5:34 am Video at: http://www.kron.com doc Jan 10, 01, 10:24 am XFL, huh!
