man aren't they just the most impressive flying objects? i really do think so, i'd love to see one in real life, but i doubt if they're still being used... i really like the enourmous size of these things, i read this German zeppelin called Hindenburg was 245 meters (804 feet) long and 41 meters (135 feet) in diameter .. that's huge!!! :D |

I've got a WHOLE LOTTA LOVE for Zeppelins. A whole lotta love. |

a small but persistent group of people has been trying for years now to make zeppelins make a come-back. Apparantly they're safer (non-flammable) now then they were before. And really, i think this is a good idea. They're clean, silent, and like you said quite beautiful to look at. Remember that scene in indiana jones where he throws the bad guy out of the zeppelin, and then says to all the other (shocked) passengers: "uh... he didn't have a ticket", and they all start waving their tickets at him, whaha! I love that scene ;-) |

Kind of stupid filling them with flammable gas though... ;) |

They still have all those Zeppelins flying above football and baseball games. Maybe they're not very cost effective though. But they are cool so I would love to travel on one, say from Boston to LA. |

yeah initially those idiots filled it with hydrogen (which is very flamable) but now that they use helium there shouldn't be any problems at that point |

did you ever see the old footage of the Hindenburg blowing up? they have other zepplin type crafts these days....like the Goodyear Blimp.....and they solved the flamable gas thingy, it was the best technology at the time tho, so you can't blame them for trying. it had made other successful trips before the big conflageration.....so it wasn't looked at as risky back then till the fire happened. thank goodness for the innovators of yesteryear, they made what we have possible! =0) |
