Zeplin's should be designed back with electric motors and Helium!! They are the future!

The top of the Empire State Building was originally designed to be used as a docking station for airships. In the late 1920s, there was a belief that cross-Atlantic travel would soon be carried out using zeppelins or dirigibles. Therefore, the investors behind the Empire State Building saw the top of the building as an ideal site for embarkation.

In this envisioned scenario, a dirigible would arrive and dock on top of the building at the specially constructed mooring station. The airship would be quickly secured with ropes, allowing passengers to disembark by walking single-file down a gangplank and into the tallest building in the world from its top floor. From there, they could take the elevator down and find themselves in the heart of Manhattan, a mere seven minutes after landing.

Since the idea was driven by the practical desire to make the building more profitable, the developers went as far as actually constructing a mooring mast on top of the Empire State Building. However, even the most skilled American engineers failed to devise a method to attach a zeppelin to the top of a 1,250-foot-high building that regularly experienced 50 mph winds, while also ensuring a pleasant experience for the average cross-Atlantic traveler.

The airship companies ultimately deemed the idea impractical and even dangerous, leading to a lack of interest. Despite this, the one and only actual mooring on the Empire State Building occurred in September 1931 when a privately-owned blimp managed to dock for three minutes, although no unloading took place.

"Traffic was tied up in the streets below for more than a half hour as the pilot, Lieutenant William McCraken jockeyed for position in the half gale about the tower 1,200 feet above the ground," the Times reported in 1931.

The age of trans-Atlantic zeppelins ended in 1937 with the Hindenburg disaster, when the largest craft of its type ever built burst into flames while landing in New Jersey.

@elonmusk Matrix is not real, anyone who watches the movie can see it is fabricated. But the universe is real and when it exceeds our understanding, you call it anomaly!

On May 20, 2026, OpenAI made an announcement that shook the mathematical world. An internal AI model had come up with a counterexample to Paul Erdős’ “unit distance” problem, making it the first historically significant proof to come from AI. https://t.co/uxckJvKjjC

@fenereditfb Rakamlarla hikaye anlatmayın, başka anlaşmalar dönmüş bilemeyiz. Beşiktaş başkanı aslen Trabzonludur, hayırlı olsun.

[Sinan Kuday @SinanKuday]

@ntv Beşiktaşın başına Trabzonlu başkan nasıl geçmiş hayret? Gerçek Beşiktaşlılar takımı kimlere teslim etmiş. Beşiktaş bana göre bitmiştir.

This will be necessary when we start living in floating islands in the sky and generate electricity from wind power.

[Massimo @Rainmaker1973]

China's stratospheric airship is designed to cruise 12 miles above Earth and generate electricity using a built-in wind turbine.

Up there, winds are 5 to 8 times stronger than on the ground, meaning this thing could produce consistent power.

[Sinan Kuday @SinanKuday]

@ottomanenglish Why not declaring small aegean islands as common territories Greek&Turks? Common police forces and executive teams can be built. Noone talks about stupid virtual lines on the sea as borders! That's my dream.

It's a warning to everyone on Earth!! If the asteroid size were more than 100 km wide, catastrophic worldwide effects would happen: Moon orbital shift, earthquakes, widespread volcanism, ocean displacements, mega tsunamis ...etc.

[Orbital Day @OrbitalDayCom]

☄️😲 A bus-sized asteroid is about to fly shockingly close to Earth!

Asteroid 2026 JH2 will pass just 90,000 km away on May 18, well inside the Moon’s orbit, and you might actually be able to see it.

Another pandemi is at the door after 5 years later!

[Massimo @Rainmaker1973]

Hantavirus “Patient Zero” has been identified as Leo Schilperoord, a 70-year-old Dutch ornithologist who visited a landfill in Argentina, containing rodents potentially carrying the Andes virus strain.

He died on board the MV Hondius on April 11, 2026 — five days after developing symptoms (fever, headache, stomach pain, and diarrhea) on April 6.

His wife, Mirjam Schilperoord, also died a short time later in South Africa after disembarking with his body during a stop in Saint Helena. The outbreak has been linked to at least three deaths total so far.
