Where was the Hindenburg built?
Correct answer: Germany
Heartland Old Guy
Good question, good comments. The hindenberg was actually in its second year of service when it went down. There is still speculation as to what caused the fire.

From disaster, a band called Led Zeppelin !

Filled with hydrogen because the US would not sell helium to Nazi Germany

VividPotion6704, The Hindenburg burst into flames upon landing in Lakehurst, New Jersey.
GI Joe
Interesting fact, the zeppelin had the first commercial flight with a flight attendant.

Heartland Old Guy, it seems that the scheduled Landing should have been postponed because of thunder in the area. But there was media coverage and I think they were trying to make the 6 o'clock news.
BrainTek
what a disaster. wonder where technology would be if the hindenberg had been a success

Suekirider, Snopes is about as reliable as the misinformation we're fed by the media, lol
Kaizer Yuan

BayRat2011, yeah, too bad hydrogen is flammable and helium is not.

Heartland Old Guy, it seems to me I happened to have a look at it in one of the classic movies, the Last Crusade, starring Harrison Ford.

I remember none of that. I am schooled in history and the Hindenberg was quite the flying machine. Debby

The Name Hindenburg & Swastika Flags should be a dead give away

SeventhAverage4, it was over in 34 seconds.

( Snail Darter), If it states it on "Snopes", you can be pretty sure it's accurate. A post on Facebook? Not so much!
AwesomeAnnie7
elizabeth bennett, news reels shown in theaters at the time. not tv.
Stormfury
RegretfulHuman68, the walls were hardendend with hydrogen so if it crashed...💥
SeventhAverage4
Apparently, John Boy Walton was there when the Hindenburg exploded. Would have been terrifying, it was over in minutes

Heartland Old Guy, Sabotage?
VividPotion6704
My granny saw a Zeppelin in flames over east London but she said it was definitely not the Hindenburg, so I think they must have caught fire more than once.

Heartland Old Guy, Some silly ? probably lit a cigarette! !

Was it sabotage???

Heartland Old Guy, add to meet a video date in order to land on time and get publicity. Sure what could go wrong with bringing down a giant in the middle of an electrical storm?
