Early on the morning of August, 14, 2011, a blimp that was tethered at the Columbus, OH airport broke its moorings in a thunderstorm. The winds deposited it in the backyard of a home about 2 miles away in Worthington, OH. The blimp was being used to advertize Hangar 1 Vodka in a series of stops around the country. There is no word yet as to why the blimp was out of the hanger instead of in it.
