Goodyear Blimp Crash in Germany

[evangilder]

A Goodyear-branded A60 airship burned and crashed in Germany on Sunday evening with one death, the ship's pilot. The three passengers, all journalists, survived the crash. It appears the blimp caught fire following one or more prop strikes during landing at the Reichelsheim airport, south of Frankfurt, after a local flight.
