LZ-129 Hindenburg airship Zepplin scale-1:500

Description

The Hindenburg airship disaster

The name is most famously associated with the catastrophic crash of the German rigid airship, the LZ 129 Hindenburg. 

• The event: On May 6, 1937, the Hindenburg burst into flames while attempting to dock at the Naval Air Station in Lakehurst, New Jersey, at the end of a transatlantic flight from Frankfurt, Germany.
• The consequences: The disaster caused 36 fatalities, including passengers, crew members, and one ground crewman. The crash was heavily documented by newsreel cameras and the famous on-site radio reporting of Herb Morrison, whose emotional "Oh, the humanity!" commentary was broadcast the following day.
• The cause: The airship was filled with highly flammable hydrogen, as the United States had placed an export ban on the safer, non-flammable helium that the Hindenburg was originally designed to use. While the exact cause remains debated, the most likely theory is that a discharge of static electricity ignited a hydrogen leak, causing the fire. The disaster abruptly ended the commercial passenger-carrying rigid airship era.
