Almost got hit by a blimp !!

[Thajeffski]

Seriously thought he was going down!!

Took me a few seconds to grab the camera, at this point he had climbed back up maybe 10 feet ish..

When I first saw him, he was nose down!

Probably something in that big boat that he was looking at. Sunbather maybe.

YIKES, man he is low.

He is low, but unlike the older blimps, the newer ones have ducted fans instead of regular propellers. The fans are usually capable of pivoting, so the engines have vectored thrust. That means that they can climb nearly straight up.

I've been in a Goodyear blimp twice, but they were the old ones. They were a little weird sometimes, because up and down drafts affected them quite alot, when not moving very fast. The effect was more like being in an elevator than an airplane!

There was a movie called "Black Sunday" where the a mentally disturbed pow and the Palestinians tried to blow up a blimp over the superbowl, and if I remember right they tried something like that as a practice rum

If you look really close, you can just make out the fishing line coming down. I hope it's something small, 'cuz a big fish could bring it down.
