- dTal 7y agoIt seems like a much easier target to me, if the ship passes over a secluded area. I suspect a cargo airship is also more likely to be unmanned. How: drone with a harpoon, or a particularly pointy model rocket. Perhaps you'd attach a tether, so you can bring the ship to a specific spot (and reel it in gently without having to compromize its buoyancy so much it crashes hard).
- daveFNbuck 7y agoDoes that really sound easier to you than hopping into a running UPS truck while the driver is delivering a package and driving away? How far do you think you could drag a drone-filled zeppelin before you were detected? How long would it take you to gently reel in a floating warehouse while Amazon alerted authorities and private security about your multimillion-dollar heist?
