Today on the radio news, they had an interview with one of the reporters.
The one from "Bild" Newspaper. The other two came from RTL TV.
"It was the last flight going back to Reichelsheim ( airport ) after a day at the "Hessentag" ( Fairground ). The craft touched the ground at some grassfield. Before everything was normal and a fine flight. The captain was shouting we are crashing. We could smell gasoline. We at first were somehow surprised and then tried to escape. One of the reporters was trying to open the door, but he said: It is not opening. The other reporter jumped out of the window and the reporter from the door followed. We were very low and it was only about a meter to jump down. Before getting out we felt the heat from the back. The captain helped us to get out. But then stayed inside. When we got off the Blimp was climbing and it was too late for the captain to get off. The Blimp climbed to approx. 300m and then came down. The captain was screaming awful and for a long time. I will never forget this screaming."
This was the interview from the reporter today.
