FILE - In this June 15, 2017 file photo, a blimp crashes during the first round of the U.S. Open golf tournament near Erin Hills in Erin, Wis. A preliminary report released by the National Transportation Safety Board on Monday, June, 26, 2017 says tears in the fabric of a hot-air blimp caused it to crash near the U.S. Open. The NTSB says the airship was returning to the Erin airport on because the winds were too strong. The pilot was approaching the airstrip at an altitude of about 200 feet when he encountered a thermal updraft, which sent the airship up to 500 feet. (AP Photo/Charlie Riedel File)
