    Talking 'Airlander 10': Witness Describes Horrible Nosedive On Crashlanding

    Watch video footage as the world's longest aircraft - part plane and part airship, dubbed "the flying bum" - hits the ground, sustaining damage to its cockpit ... after it had nosedived to the tarmac during its second test flight from Bedfordshire's Cardington Airfield.

    Fortunately, ... ... there were no casualties involved as a result.

    Well it is just a test flight, testing revealed a weakness, gravity I think this might even be only the second ever flight by this craft. It is full of inert Helium gas, not explosive Hydrogen.
