The world's longest aircraft, Airlander 10, crashed on landing in Bedfordshire today.
it was only its second flight.
Note to Mods: I thought there was already a thread on this aircraft but I can't find it. If you find it could you please merge this post. Thank you.

I thought it would have been very difficult for it to crash like that.
Of course if a hanging front rope got tangled around a telegraph pole that would explain it.

Not a good start, fortunately no one was injured.

Didn't some of the older versions have a single wheel beneath the front cabin?
Maybe it would have helped or maybe it already had one?

At least it didn't bounce back up into the air again!
Don't limit the friends you haven't met with arguments you'll never have.

The video wasn't much to watch. A snail "crashing" into a wall.

If that was a crash, then, was the Hindenburg a planetary explosion?

Also known as "the flying bum" according to Wiki.
Named the Martha Gwyn after the company chairman's wife,[27] the craft became popularly known as "the flying bum" for "the resemblance its plump front end shares with a human's back end."[28]
