A blimp that flew over crowds at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York had to make an emergency landing Thursday in Long Island.

The pilot had been heading to an airport to refuel when the weather changed, and winds began buffeting the blimp, CBS News reported. Realizing he wouldn't make it to the airport, he landed.
