Puttering around his suburban Los Angeles home, Carl Gorbach heard something crash through the roof of his backyard cabaña. Rushing to the spot, Carl found a neat hole in the roof and another in the window where a 1 ½ pound wrench had ricocheted out onto the grass. Looking upward, the startled Mr. Gorbach saw a blimp some 1,500 feet above. A forgetful member of the ground crew had left the tool on the balloon’s outrigging.
