Actually I read the link before answering the discussion. lol!I only heard this news today but the incident was devastating and sad, that was terrible but thank God many had survived compared to other plane crash. But still, the news bring sad memories.

There was a program on the television earlier in the week about this.
It's a shame about what happened, as it is with each and every disaster but it was good to see a piece of history replacing unimportant programs.
Kudos,

Yes that was really terrible. And it was the end for air ships. They were so big and beautiful and just gliding. Sometimes I have seen very small airships and I always wondered about the big ones. I have red reports and stories from travellers way back when...
It is a pity that one can`t travel this way any more, so comfortably and majestic.
