In a disastrous PR stunt, a massive blimp rented by Sqa Paulo FC for promotional purposes crashed into houses in the Osasco neighbourhood of Sao Paulo, Brazil, on Wednesday, September 25. Captured in a horrifying video, the blimp was conducting a test flight ahead of the team’s Copa Libertadores quarter-final clash against Botafogo when it suddenly plummeted from the sky, causing panic among onlookers. The video that has since gone viral shows onlookers screaming as the blimp plummeted, with neighbours fleeing as it deflated over rooftops. Fortunately, the pilot was rescued from the cabin and transported to a local hospital, with the club later confirming that there were no serious injuries. The club stated they were providing necessary support to the crew and anyone affected by the crash.
