this shit should have happened in the 90s & early 00s, before it was lobbied to death by big oil
if theres one thing Musk did thats good, its forcing the industry to evolve.

That large weird thing on the top of the Empire State Building, is exactly what it was built for. A big ass blimp.
they never did this again though, as blimps lost their use & the winds up that high were so bad they were never used again.

This always make me think as to why the Twin towers fell & with the B-25 and the Empire State shook it off no problem.
besides the size of the two aircraft , the buildings are close in height. and the Twins were built with aerial impact in mind.
