  Hindenburg disaster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hindenburg was originally intended to be filled with helium, but a United States military embargo on helium forced the Germans to modify the design of the ship to use highly flammable hydrogen as the lift gas.
The disaster is remembered partly because of extraordinary newsreel coverage, photographs, and Herbert Morrison's recorded radio eyewitness report from the landing field.
Parts of his report were later dubbed onto the newsreel footage (giving an incorrect impression to some modern eyes accustomed to live television that the words and film had always been together).

More loosely, footage can also refer to all sequences used in film and video editing, such as special effects and archive material (for special cases of this, see stock footage and B roll).
Since the term originates in film, footage is only used for recorded images, such as film stock, videotapes or digitized clips – on live television, the signals from the cameras are called ''sources'' instead.
The origin of the term "footage" is that 35mm film has traditionally been measured in feet and frames; the fact that film was measured by length in cutting rooms, and that there are exactly 16 4-perf frames in a foot of 35mm film, made footage a natural unit of measure for film.

 disaster
A disaster is an unexpected natural or man-made catastrophe of substantial extent causing significant property damage or destruction, loss of life or sometimes permanent changes to the natural environment.
Disasters may also be unforeseen events which devastate a company or industry, such as a public relations disaster or a major flop.
'Disaster' comes from the Italian desastro, which means "unfavourable to one's stars", ultimately from the Greek astron (star), and reflects the key characteristic of a disaster which is its unintentional nature.

 Hindenburg disaster
It was a brand-new all aluminium design: 245 m long (804 feet), 41 m in diameter (135 ft), containing 211,890 m³ of gas in 16 bags or cells, with a useful lift of 112 tons, powered by four 1100 horsepower (820 kW) engines giving it a maximum speed of 135 km/h (83 mph).
Proponents of the "flammable fabric" theory contend that the extremely flammable iron oxide and aluminium impregnated cellulose acetate butyrate coating could have caught fire from atmospheric static, resulting in a leak through which flammable hydrogen gas could escape.
After the disaster the Zeppelin company's engineers determined this skin material, used only on the Hindenburg, was more flammable than the skin used on previous craft.

This would have allowed hydrogen out of the Hindenburg, which could have been ignited by the static discharge mentioned previously.
This, however, remains theory, because no concrete evidence has shown that the Hindenburg was punctured, and no eyewitness accounts back up this theory.
Further, while all fires generally tend to burn upward, including hydrogen fires, the enormous radiant heat from the burning of all of the materials of the ship would have quickly led to ignition over the entire surface of the ship, thus explaining the downward propagation of the flames.

 Hydrogen Newsletter Spring 1997: Hindenburg
This colorized photograph of the Hindenburg airship as it burned gives several proofs to the theory that it was the extreme flammability of the fabric cover, not the hydrogen inside, which caused the disaster.
In fact, an eyewitness reported seeing a blue glow of electrical activity atop the ill-fated Hindenburg before the fire started, which is indicative of the extremely high temperatures typical of a corona discharge.
The electric arc burned a hole in the fabric; however, when the sample was mounted so it remained parallel to the arc (as the airship was), the fabric ignited and disappeared in seconds.

Nearly everyone has seen the vivid newsreel footage of the Hindenburg disaster, when Germany's pride, the greatest airship ever flown, burst into flames while attempting to land in New Jersey after a transatlantic crossing in 1937.
And while the Hindenburg's fiery end could not have been more public, the cause of the disaster has always the subject of much speculation, with theories ranging from sabotage to the more mundane explanation of static electricity igniting the highly flammable hydrogen gas used to lift the 804-foot-long dirigible.
Interviews with Hindenburg crew members who survived the disaster provide vivid testimony about the airship's fiery demise, and a former NASA engineer who has long been fascinated by the Hindenburg provides intriguing conclusions about how the fire spread so quickly.

 The Ultimate Herbert Morrison (announcer) - American History Information Guide and Reference
Morrison's description has been dubbed onto the newsreel film of the crash, giving the impression of a modern television-style broadcast, but at the time newsreels were separately narrated in a studio and Morrison's words were not heard in theaters.
The availability of newsreel films, photographs and Morrison's description was a result of heavy promotion of the arrival by the Zeppelin company, ironically making the crash a media event and raising its importance far beyond other disasters, less well reported and documented.
Morrison's usual broadcast work was as an announcer on live musical programs, but his earlier successful reporting of midwestern floods from an airplane led to his assignment at Lakehurst that day.
