Airships are so strange. It's old technology, yet it looks so futuristic and fantastical.

how do you unfuck up this situation?

Throw a dart at it.

Aand thats it. Cant really imagine anything scarier than staying on there.

How about imagining that it is also filled with hydrogen and covered in thermite? That is probably a bit scarier.
-
This was a US dirigible. By 1926, the dangers were known and the US had already transitioned from Hydrogen to Helium. This one was built in Germany, flown to the US, then immediately had its gas changed from H to He several years before this incident occurred.

IDK, falling out would probably be scarier

Reminds me of when the super star destroyer crashed into the death star

I don't think I'll ever understand why Lucas kept that crappy special effect intact in the special edition while hyper-fixating on the singer's tonsils at Jabba's palace. Or making Luke scream "NOOOOO...!" as he willingly let go of that Cloud City vane thingamajig. Or putting R2D2 behind rocks he couldn't fit through in the Tatooine desert while Luke gets attacked by Tusken Raiders.
Talk about having the wrong priorities every step of the way.

This is what sounding feels like. I think.

I hope that aluminum piano is bolted down tight.

Is it just me or does this look like a Hindenburg themed horror movie poster

Was this the inspiration for the climax of Kiki’s Delivery Service?
