Low Flying Military Blimp Dragging 6700 Foot Cable Over PA

This is sort of funny, unless you're in line of this thing. 10,000 without power as this cable knocks out lines.
NORAD scratching their head?

UPDATE: Power Outages Reported in Bloomsburg, PA Area as F16's Scramble to Chase $1.1B DoD Blimp that Broke Free from Tether, Heading Toward Pennsylvania...

All you can do is knock it down...

If it keeps heading north it will be over a less populated area and the F16s can shoot it down, (sort of like they did with Flight 93 on 9/11. Beam me down, Shanksville!)

Just a good thing the weather is so mild up here in the NE today. Initially I thought this thing was heading for New Jersey! Yikes!

Don't remember but this would have been a massively huge mess if this thing had drifted more east than north.

Is there a frantic father calling out for his boy stuck in that balloon?

if Rosanne Barr and Michael Moore had stolen the blimp.....it probably would of never made it further than 100 feet up.

That's where I work, I see those blimps every day

Somebody's ass is grass

A surveillance aerostat. Exactly the kind I was talking about a couple days ago that we can use for border security.

But not if they drift off on the job...

"Dammit, Bill, I told you to use a mooring hitch. You tied a fricking slipknot!"

It would have never "rosanne" from the ground, it would have been " moored".
