Third Blimp Crash Within A Year

Author: Tyrepress Editors Comments: 0

In October last year the Goodyear blimp “Spirit of Akron” crashed in the Akron area. On August 10th a gust of wind damaged the gondola of the blimp “Spirit of the South Pacific” and on August the 20th the blimp “Stars & Stripes” crashed in Philadelphia. Nobody was hurt.

“Stars & Stripes”, one of seven airships operated by the tyre manufacturer worldwide, will be rebuilt, says Goodyear. In the meantime, the company is examining other ways to fulfil its TV commitments, including hiring a blimp, helicopters and planes..
