A massive blimp is expected to arrive in the Gulf Coast on Tuesday to help clean up the disastrous oil spill that's deposited tar balls on Texas shores.
The 178-foot-long U.S. Navy airship will be used to detect oil, direct skimming ships and look for threatened wildlife, reports CNN, adding it can stay aloft longer than helicopters and can survey a wider area.
