	Hindenburg disaster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		LZ 129 Hindenburg was a German zeppelin that was destroyed by fire while approaching a mooring mast at Lakehurst Naval Air Station in New Jersey on May 6, 1937.
		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 witness report from the landing field.

		The disaster was blamed on the extreme flammability of the hydrogen lifting gas that filled most of the airship.
		In the Hindenburg disaster, as soon as the hydrogen bladders were opened by the flames, the hydrogen inside would have escaped up and away from the burning airship - and it would not have not contributed to the ensuing fire.
		The Hindenberg disaster was not caused by the hydrogen.

		There has been much speculation on the cause of the Hindenburg diaster on May 6th, 1937 when it suddenly went up in flames and crashed to the ground.
		Hydrogen gas, the aluminium powder coating, static electricity, and lighting have been the major favourites to be blamed thus far.
		Whether it can be lodged as the final word on the cause of the disaster, only time may tell.

		The Hindenburg burning On May 6, 1937, at 19:25, the German zeppelin LZ 129 Hindenburg caught fire and was utterly destroyed in less than one minute while approaching a mooring mast at Lakehurst Naval Air Station in New Jersey.
		The crush of journalists was in response to a heavy publicity push about the first trans-Atlantic Zeppelin flight of the year.
		Furthermore, the recent technical papers http://spot.colorado.edu/~dziadeck/zf/LZ129fire.htm point out that even if the ship had been coated with typical rocket fuel, it would have taken many hours to burn—not the 34 seconds that it actually took.
