| Parachute
Even if they did crash, they would probably be equipped with some sort of descent control device, say maybe a backup gyro-copter with a parachute attached. so that if it did begin to fall the balloon shell would collapse somewhere, and cause very little destruction, and probably have good warning if it did., and the Main weight could eject, and begin a RC landing. using the Gyro & Parachute.

Mesa, AZ | What do they do about it falling through the commercial airline traffic?
What happens when a jet airliner hits when the blimp fails?
Would think that it would be equipped with some kind of emergency beacon. |

Would think that it would be equipped with some kind of emergency beacon. They said It would be up at an Altitude of 13 miles(68,640'), So unless the airlines go higher than 50,000', Then I wouldn't worry too much. As the normal flight altitude of a Boeing 747 is 45,000' »www.pbs.org/kcet/chasingthesun/p···747.html

| As stated by me:
"What do they do about it falling through the commercial airline traffic?"
Rephrased:
So what happens when the blimp fails and falls down from way up high, down through the commerical airline traffic towards the ground?
I hope this clarifies the question? |

I'm not certain they have released there plans for an emergency situation such as that. I hope that some of My ideas can come in handy. |
