Tethering the blimp sounds like how I spent many nights in high school.
Police used shotguns to deflate the wayward surveillance blimp that broke loose in Maryland and ended up in a wooded area in the central Pennsylvania countryside.
So, if I understand this right, this blimp is over two football fields long and they shot it down in the woods. Somebody is going to have to retrieve this thing somehow. Seems like there could be better ways to handle that situation.

It's not even one football field long actually.
The stories about its demise are both contradictory and implausible.
It does appear to have been loosing gas, as the pictures of it close to the ground show the tail sagging substantially.
The shotgunning stories are credited both to the military and the police, and seem rather silly for a fabric bag. Especially one that supposedly was torn in half, with the tail section hung up elsewhere (though it is clearly attached in the video of the blimp coming down to earth).
I doubt we will ever really know the true story of the events. From why it wasn't brought in for high winds as is standard proceedure, to why it didn't climb in altitude, etc. We need Fox Mulder for this one!
From what I heard last night on the radio, the remains of it are down a ravine near a creek and it might take a heavy duty chopper w/pulling abilities to get it out.

I am willing to bet that was how it got loose. They were getting ready to reel it in when either something broke or got undone.
And I am glad to see the Jersey Devils actually got to do something besides high speed maneuvers over the ocean and touch and goes
If it heard correctly, it weighs 10,000 lbs and cost $250 million.
Obviously an inside job. Probably a false flag for when Obama sends the real FEMA balloons out to track us until the re-edumaction camps are ready.
