Airship Italia vs. The Diabolical Damien Hirst, a Tragedy in Seven Slices.
Actually, the fate of the airship wasn’t very different from the picture – it crashed on an expedition to the North Pole in 1928 “with one confirmed fatality from the crash, one fatality from exposure while awaiting rescue, and the disappearance (and presumed death) of six crew members who were trapped in the still-airborne envelope.”
The account of the crash on Wikipedia is harrowing with moments of grim humour, like an LotFP adventure:
“Almost immediately the survivors were buoyed by the discovery of a waterproof bag containing chocolate, pemmican, a Colt revolver, ammunition and a flaregun… Malmgren, in pain, and suffering from guilt about his role in the crash announced he would drown himself and began walking away from the crash site, only stopping when sharply ordered to return by the General. Later the same day, Mariano had to disarm Malmgren after he started to walk away from the crash site with the loaded Colt revolver.”
