Close Call? Pictures Appear To Show Blimp Almost Hitting Water Tower
May 12, 2010
Pictures we shot over the weekend appears to show the Wind Creek Casino blimp hitting a radio antenna on top of a water tower in Walnut Hill. The pictures, shot with a zoom lens from nearly a mile away, are optical illusions; the blimp was simply passing behind and above the water tower. The series of photos at the top (L-R) shows the blimp passing the tower. NorthEscambia.com photos, click to enlarge.

I agree! We can all use a light hearted bit of news now and then. Too much bad stuff going on so bring on the good news William whenever you can find any.
It was a cool pic, but i to am tired of seeing that thing float around. By the way we love our water tower,, as we the people in Walnut Hill are paying for that newbie, sooo pleeze don`t hit it!!!!
Thanx
This does bring a question to think about. What will happen if this thing ever does crash??? How big will the explosion be when it hits the ground???? Should I be concerned about this or am I just being paronoid???? Hey it CAN HAPPEN!!
I agree with William! It’s nice to have a fun story. There are so many sad things going on in the news lately. This is refreshing.
Personally, I’m sick of seeing that thing flying around.
ALMOST !
Just saying I can’t believe someone spoke bad about William’s reporting.
Well said William!!
> William is printing frivolous stuff!
Maybe so, but it’s currently the 3rd most read story of the day. I like a fun photo or a lighthearted feature sometimes. Tends to be refreshing compared to guns, drugs, arrests, and the doom and gloom of oil. Seems that several thousand people have agreed today.
Wow Dagwood,
I can’t believe someone actually said William is printing frivolous stuff!! I know frivolous is spelled wrong and I don’t care!
Lets try to find something newsworthy to put in the news please.
Some call this an “OPTICAL CONCLUSION” …they will believe almost anything !
Kinda neat….
Oh! Oh Oh OH!!!!!!
Thank goodness you had me going there. I was about to call homeland security.
Ever see the movie Black Sunday? This is just like that, only different.
When my eye first saw the photo on the front page (the one not aligned to vertical) I though the blimp was somehow knocking over the water tower!
Cool photography illusion William, I like doing this too… Thanks for sharing.
Neat!
