The blimp was leased from another company, and the remaining leased blimp has been grounded indefinitely pending the investigation.  It was also a different model than than those based here in the U.S.

The pilot is a hero, in my mind - all of the passengers jumped to safety before the blimp was destroyed.

Wow, that's so sad to watch knowing the outcome.  Apparently the passengers had reported smelling gasoline several times during the flight to the pilot.  RIP.
