"The Ballad of Hangar One" is going to need another verse—one that tells the story of a wayward blimp that crashes in the backyard of an astonished 94-year-old woman. It happened in Ohio on Sunday! The 128-foot-long Hangar One blimp, which is touring America this summer, broke free of its moorings at a Columbus airport during strong winds, drifted northward, and ended up crashing in Lillian Bernhagen's yard in the Columbus suburb of Worthington. Check out a photo of the crash site here.
