The Blimp is Back!

About

Airships were once hailed as "ocean liners of the sky" until the Hindenburg explosion sparked their fall from grace. Now, blimps are back in some exciting new places, from anti-terrorist operations to research tours of the rainforest canopy. See vintage footage of a luxury blimp's cabin and see some new blimp varieties such as "The Whale" and the "cyclocrane."
