The disasterous maiden flight of the Hindenburg airship, one of the worst aviation crashes in history
"Most of the crew and passengers survived. Of 36 passengers and 61 crew, 13 passengers and 22 crew died. Also killed was one member of the ground crew, Navy Linesman Allen Hagaman. Most deaths did not arise from the fire but were suffered by those who leapt from the burning ship. (The lighter-than-air fire burned overhead.) Those passengers who rode the ship on its gentle descent to the ground escaped unharmed."
Wikipedia is very shetchy most of the time. Actually most accounts show 32 persons killed and 50 injured or burned. New testing shows that it was the fabric of the Graft Zepplin that started the fire, not the hydrogen. Lightning storms had been reported in the area of NJ that day. The fabric of the Hindenburg was ignited by lightning from one of these storms, according to some prominent researchers today.
By moj.goat 1166590631The "Graf" was a completely different airship built by the Zeppelin company several years before the Hindenburg. If I remember correctly, the Graf Zeppelin actually flew a passanger cruise around the world before airplanes could even fly across the Atlantic. Also, the flight in this video was the first flight of the second season for the Hindenburg. I find it awfully coincidental that this "accident" would happen at the biggest media event ever staged, at the time.
By TheFlynn 1178122044When censoring other people it is best to use the correct word or words, as in this case.
By MemberNumberN 1166595233The most likely explanation currently, is this was started from one of the cables that circles the envelope snapped (This was very common, several would snap on every voyage) and created a small spark. The rest is very well known, the waterproofing was highly flammable, the hydrogen actually took along time to ignite, and you can even visibly see this, when the entire thing is in flame, its still floating!
By proudcanadianeh 1166594830...this must have been the work of muslim radicals!! ...well ..someone has to get the ball rolling here! .. as it seems that evey video on MC has some political, racial etc etc zealot commenting!! LOL!
