Stray US military blimp causes power outages on America's East Coast

More than 20 thousand people on America's East Coast are without power after a multi-million dollar military blimp came free from its moorings in Maryland.


F-16 fighter jets were scrambled to chase the blimp, which is used to monitor America's civil defenses and detect enemy cruise missiles.


Our Washington Correspondent Simon Marks reports.
