Did you know?
The
Hindenburg was 260 feet above the
ground when a small flame burst
from the
rear
end. In only 34 seconds, the ship was a
pile of
burning wreckage on the ground.
The
designer of the Hindenburg planned to
use helium, which is not
flammable, to lift
the ship. However,
he could not afford
to
buy enough and used highly
flammable
hydrogen instead.
Read
lots more details about the
Hindenburg disaster, as well as the
design
of the largest airship ever built, theories
about what caused the disaster, and
renewed interest in airships.
