If it had been things would have gotten real exciting very quickly. to quote the commenter of the Graff Zeppelin accident "OH! The Humanity."

That's a blimp, not a zeppelin.

Yep, but to some people all skid steers are Bobcats all sodas are cokes. Somehow the Zepplin airship is what a few will call a blimp. The Good year Blimp being the exception I don't recall anyone ever calling it a Zepplin.

Words are often so inadequate for sharing information. So easily miss understood and so often misused.

Then there is this little known tidbit....

Thank you for the update I could remember Graff Zepplin but for the life of me the actual name on that airship that was struck by lightning or was punctured as it approached the parking tower and burned killing so many on board wouldn't come out Hindenburg was the name I was trying to think of.
I didn't know that Goodyear and the Zepplin Corp had reassociated with one another Does that mean the goodyear blimp now has a semi ridged frame or just multiple Gas cells inside the outer fabric

From WIKI

"Goodyear has been manufacturing balloons and airships since the early 1900s. On June 3, 1925, Goodyear established its global public relations airship fleet, with the launch of the Pilgrim.[4] In 2014, Goodyear began to replace its three U.S. non-rigid airships (blimps) with three new semi-rigid airships, manufactured by Luftschiffbau Zeppelin, each having a rigid internal frame. Although technically incorrect, Goodyear continues to refer to these new semi-rigid airships as "blimps".[1] Wingfoot One, the first semi-rigid Zeppelin in Goodyear's U.S. fleet, was christened on August 23, 2014, at the Wingfoot Lake Airship Hangar, near the company's headquarters in Akron, Ohio.[5]"
