Oh nooo, a flying Titenburg will be brought down & sunk by a electrostatic iceberg!!

It has been foretold, those two were mere omens!

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.

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.
