No, that's not the biggest gap in logic. The biggest gap in logic is the location of the stadium (the long gone Orange Bowl) and its distance from the Atlantic. It's not that it's all that far away, but it would have taken a certain amount of time to pull it even that distance, certainly much longer than the film suggests. So, how long would it take for a single helicopter to haul a blimp from the stadium area to out over the Atlantic? And how long was this fuse set for - half hour, 45 minutes, an hour? This seems to undercut the suspense a bit, doesn't it? Anyway, wouldn't they have first pulled the blimp to a higher altitude to minimize the damage of the explosion in case they didn't make it to the ocean? They didn't know about the hunting darts did they?
