Saw this on the news tonight:

A Ford Escape blimp got loose during a Portland Trailblazer - Indiana Pacers basketball game. It crashed into the crowd and eventually got stuck in an exit. They had to deflate it to get it loose.

Looks more like an Explorer. Insert Firestone joke here.

I bet it was the ignition switch. I'm expecting a major news story and a recall any minute now.

equip it with a CO cartridge to fill it in a hurry and it would be an emergency escape

It looks like it hit the EDGE of the exit.
