multivalue,

Here's a thought. What are the odds that when say, 50+ Strats are airborn (positive thinking here) and one or more malfunction or "explodes" or "???" and starts to drop downward that they make it to the ground or hit something (airborn) on the way down? What systems would have to be in place to make sure that (a)it doesn't strike any other aricraft, and (b) it doesn't make it to the ground. I think that once this bird and technology get noticed in the mainstream, folks will be concerned/worried about this type of thing. What are GlobeTel etc. going to tell them/us?

What have you been told by the FAA/Government or anyone else about the 747's buzzing the skies daily? Have they alleviated your concerns that one won't drop on your house? How about this behemoth that is hitting the skies?..Any guarantees?

Hailed as a "European success story" by the European Union, the massive plane can seat up to 840 passengers on its two full decks, and its size easily eclipses the Boeing 747 that has ruled the commercial skies for decades.

sorry for the late reply, but just got home from work and felt the need to reply. it seems to me that such questions are not really asked. "what if the airbus/747/strat/blimps/etc should drop out of the sky?" IMO the risk is assumed with acceptance of the technology. if the goodyear blimp should malfuction and have to crash land, manned or unmanned, i dont think would make a difference. if a blimp should become heavier than air it will drop like a stone. nothing anyone can do but pray, and considering they are allowed to fly over stadiums filled with 60,000+ people, again, it seems to me risk is assumed with acceptance. IMO
