Mi mi pare non sia stato postato.
Domenica in Germania è caduto uno dei due dirigibili Goodyear impegnati nella tournee europea. Si tratta del G-TLEL Spirit of Safety I (non quello venuto in Italia quindi).

La stampa tedesca dice che mentre atterrava ha impattato il terreno con un motore (o con i motori?) che poi ha preso fuoco mentre il dirigibile risaliva in aria anche per effetto del rimbalzo e poi è precipitato in fiamme. salvi i passeggeri, tra cui giornalisti, morto il pilota.

In rete ci sono immagini terribili del dirigibile in fiamme ancora in volo. Qui alcune: http://www.airships.net/blog/goodyear-blimp-crash-germany

Pilot killed after helping three passengers to make incredible escape as Goodyear blimp plunges to the ground in flames

A Goodyear blimp burst into flames and plunged to earth in a weekend crash in Germany.

The pilot was killed but three passengers managed to jump to safety when the airship caught fire as it was coming in to land at the Reichelsheim aerodrome near Friedberg.

When the airship was just six metres from the floor, the pilot told his passengers, all journalists, to jump to the ground while he tried to land safely.

Once the three had leapt clear of the blimp he took it back up before being it became overwhelmed by flames and crashed to the earth.
Witnesses reported hearing a loud noise from the engine and smelling petrol fumes.
One eyewitness said: 'We could also hear the cries of the doomed pilot as the fire surrounded him. It was terrible.'
Eyewitnesses said three passengers escaped the gondola of the blimp before the 42-year-old pilot ascended and crashed in a nearby field.
The blimp pilot who died has not yet been named.
The journalists who escaped were a photographer from Germany's Bild newspaper and two from RTL television.
The crash happened at 8.30pm on Sunday night after the airship had made a round trip for the pressmen to take photos of the state of Hessen.
Germany led the world in airship technology in the first half of the last century. Its most famous airship was the Zeppelin - named after the man who invented it.

No, era un dirigibile uguale ma non lo stesso di Roma.
Quello che ha girato in Italia è G-HLEL, quello che è caduto era G-TLEL.
