CORAL SPRINGS - A Goodyear blimp crash-landed Thursday in an industrial park and the two people aboard were briefly trapped inside while electrical crews cleared the site, authorities said.
The Stars & Stripes blimp may have gotten tangled in power lines when it went down about 12 miles from Pompano Beach Air Park, where it's based, said Coral Springs police spokesman Mike Moser. The blimp lost most of its helium and draped itself across some self-storage units. The two people on board weren't injured, said Kathleen Bergen, spokeswoman for the Federal Aviation Administration. Authorities said bad weather might have forced the blimp down.
