and 28 October 1999 The Goodyear blimp GZ-22 "Spirit of Akron", N4A, crashed in Suffield Township, Ohio, when it suddenly entered an uncontrolled left turn and began descending. The pilot and technician on board received only minor injuries when the blimp impacted with trees. The NTSB report claims that improperly hardened metal splines on the control actuators sheared, causing loss of control.

The historic clock tower was built in 1922 and still keeps time. It was originally erected to commemorate the courage of the men of the Merchant Fleet who were lost during World War I.
