Police Stop Zeppelin Jailbreak

An Italian drug trafficker's plan to escape from jail with the help of a four-meter-long radio controlled zeppelin, crashed and burned thanks to some alert police. "The plan consisted of using a remotely controlled zeppelin to bring him night-vision goggles and climbing equipment with which to escape. They would then have gone abroad to lie low while waiting for forged papers and to continue arranging the shipment of narcotics into our country," a National Police statement said.
