A few weeks ago, I caught the film Sky
Captain and the World of Tomorrow and was blown away. Sure Jude Law was a bit dull, not really the leading man hero
type a la Harrison Ford, but the texture, the rhythm of this film was really original. Well, the film opens with a shot
of a Zeppelin mooring at the top of the Empire State Building, a scene that is actually somewhat true to life since the
top spire of the Empire State Building actually was supposed to serve this function.
This is all a very long way for me to get to the fact that a company called
Zeppelin Europe Tours will be offering Zeppelin rides
in the future. The site doesn’t say much, but if it happens, it would be quite cool. Just stay away from power lines
this time (yeah yeah, I know, they don’t use hydrogen anymore).
