Twitter Users See the Lighter Side of Unmoored Blimp
This afternoon, a Defense Department blimp in Maryland broke free of its moorings and drifted off towards Pennsylvania.
Twitter users couldn’t help but see the humor in the situation.
Please don't call it a blimp. It self-identifies as a hovercraft.

The “blimp” started tweeting, too, and gave his reasons for fleeing Maryland:
