The Violent End of the U.S.S. Macon, Tom Lovell, 193?
What do we do now? Nothing left but to watch it sink. Get rescued or make it to land.
Obviously it's a tragedy but I think he caught a cool moment or imagined a cool moment where they made it to life rafts, they're alive and probably relieved to have that, at least. Alive and safe. This is before everyone is looking at each other wondering what comes next.
I read that all but two were rescued.

Oregon too has a history of #LighterThanAir travel; in #worldWar2 several #blimps patrolled the coast on the lookout for Japanese subs.
It would be AMAZING to see them gliding silently over the forested hills some day!

"Some 86 years after the Hindenburg disaster, LTA Research wants to bring back airships, this time with funding from Sergey Brin. The billionaire and co-founder of Google has quietly helped modernize a long-forgotten form of flight-one that could be used to transport cargo or assist during humanitarian relief missions. Ashlee Vance got an exclusive look at their prototype."
