A blimp floating over the U.S. Open golf tournament in Erin, Wisconsin caught fire and crashed moments ago … and spectators captured the incident on video.

Unclear how many people were on board or if anyone was injured. We’re working on the story.

There is one witness who believes she saw people parachuting from the blimp — but we haven’t been able to confirm that yet.

Emergency responders and good Samaritans rushed to the wreckage to help out.
