A blimp caught fire and fell to the ground near the US Open golf tournament in Wisconsin Thursday morning. Maynard could not confirm witness accounts that the pilot skydived from the blimp and said the aircraft's pilots do not regularly carry parachutes. "It was a disgusting sight".
Hartford is about 40 minutes northwest of Milwaukee.
"Yeah. My caddie made a comment on the 9th hole".
What I presume is smoke from the blimp crash in the background.
"Wow, blimp down. I hope everyone is safe".
According to the Washington County Sheriff's Department, the initial investigation revealed the blimp may have experienced mechanical problems prior to the crash.
The crash happened east of the grounds, in an open field.

Factor in fairways bordered by deep fescue grass that some have already described as unplayable, and it appears likely that the tournament will live up to its billing as the toughest test in golf. "Then it went behind the trees", Ruediger said.
Flight For Life was called to the scene and one person was transported. The Sheriff's Office asked the Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board to help investigate the cause.
"Pretty sure I just watched the blimp crash at the #USOPEN!". So it was pretty terrible.
