Locals were sprinting for safety from the plummeting blimp ... making for quite a chaotic scene.

The pilot was rescued from the cabin and hospitalized, but will likely be A-OK -- and no other injuries were reported.

The airship, rented by the Brazilian football team São Paulo FC, was conducting a test flight ahead of Wednesday night’s Copa Libertadores quarterfinals when things took a nosedive. Guess they should’ve stuck to a regular billboard!
