Did anybody else read this:<br /><br /><!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->Royal Caribbean International’s Oasis of the Seas lost its trial balloon during sea trials off the coast of Finland. The helium-filled, blimp-like craft, called an aerostat, was being tested for <b>possible rides above the ship</b>. The aerostat was tethered to the back of the ship by a stainless steel cable. “The aerostat producer, Lindstrand Technologies Ltd., was conducting an unmanned test flight when a failure occurred and the aerostat separated from the ship and drifted away over open water,” Royal Caribbean said in a statement. “No one was injured during this incident and no damage to the ship occurred. The aerostat landed in the water and we are in the process of retrieving it.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br /><br />Can you imagine being pulled along above the ship, and having the cable separate??  That big ship probably starts to look small as you float away&#33; <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/ohmy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ohmy:" border="0" alt="ohmy.gif" /> <br />
