Destroyed by jewish sabotage. Such a loss, to humanity, to the world.

An aerospace engineer actually did an analysis of what happened to the hindenburg. What he determined and backed up by looking at detailed footage of the airship maneuvering was that the pilot had been urged strongly to try to make a world record and was racing. As a result he did a very hard turn which was beyond the limits of the steering veins of the Hindenburg to make his landing or mooring. This cracked an upper stress rib on top of the back of the airship which can actually be seen in footage. This cracked rib likely pierced the hydrogen bag and was the cause of the fire. It was not the hydrogen that burned it was the silver nitrate paint on the skin which burned which you can clearly see if you watch the footage. The skin burns much faster than the bags go up in flames. Hydrogen actually won't burn on its own. It must be mixed with oxygen therefore it's not until the skin of the airship Burns near the individual hydrogen bags that the hydrogen is released into the atmosphere and then you see the hydrogen burn.

It will be interesting seeing what can be done today using modern materials.

Studied airships for years.

Everyone knows about de hindy, but no one knows about her sister ship the Graf Zep.

That ship sailed around the world about 14 times, wracking up 100,000 of miles, went to Antarctica three times (carting almost a million pounds of cargo in these trips which always made me wonder what they were building down there)

Airships rock!

Hindenburg was designed to hold helium, it was the USA who forced the Germans to use hydrogen.

If the great airship were held aloft with helium it likely would still be flying today.

I blame kikes.

Bro! Help us out!!

Never believed that it was an accident.

The fires would have to have been set in multiple compartments with high burning metals.

During ww1 pilots reported how hard it was to burn hydrogen spotting balloons using incendiary rounds.
