The absolute best thing about this article is the caption under the picture of the Hindenburg. :-)

I take it one that doesn't crash, yes? :-)

The one advertising the Palm flew past the office the other day, causing much staring out of windows and craning of necks. Did one hell of a perfectly executed turn, as well.

I don't think a modern, well built airship has any higher probability of crashing than a plane. The really tricky thing in the old ones was the ton of hydrogen involved which is now eliminated.

They are beautiful and elegant, despite their size.

Yes, hydrogen always seemed a bad idea really. They fascinate me, they really do.
