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)

This photo made available Monday, June 26, 2017, by the Italian Culture Ministry, shows parts of the 1,800-year-old skeleton of a dog, which apparently perished in a blaze in Rome. Archaeologists think the dog was trapped in a blaze that largely consumed a 3rd-century building that was unearthed while digging for Rome's new subway, and have dubbed it a “Pompeii-like scene” in Rome.
