Yesterday as I was flipping thru the channels with my remote I saw footage of some ungodly creation that had crashed. The thing was a Blimp with four helicopters minus the tail rotors attached together with some kind of metal frame work. This contraption crashed after the framework started collapsing.It was mentioned that the Navy had spent several million dollars testing this Rube Goldberg type contraption. My question is what the hell would it have been used for anyway? It might have been capable of lifting a lot of weight under ideal conditions but in high winds and less than ideal conditions worthless. As the footage clearly showed. Makes you wonder what other hare brained ideas that are tax dollars are being wasted on. Dennis
