How Airships Could Overcome a Century of Failure
March 2, 2022 A new breed of airships seeks to take flight and provide a greener solution for both luxury travel and heavy industry. But is the business case for bringing them back enough to overcome a troubled past?

I'd love if they could bring something like that back, so long as they have found a way to avoid that tragedy that befell that one, that does seem horrible for sure. But yeah the concept always seemed cool.

Airships have been pretty kewl in video-games like Final Fantasy. The airships in the FF3(original SNES game)/FF6(the remade game for other systems ie GBA & PlayStation) were fairly realistic versions of modern blimps/zeppelins. There was one kewl thing about the real blimp disasters & that is the band, Led Zeppelin
