I'm still astonished how few people died in the Hindenburg's crash. 62 of the 97 occupants survived which is impressive for such a catastrophic failure.

Wonder why you never see pictures of the Hindenburg before the crash? if you look it up, you'll see why lol.
I did nazi that coming.
There’s a tiny museum in Lakehurst with a piece of the tail emblem preserved. It was eerie to see in person for multiple reasons.
Photographers wanted to save their film for the fireball.
