	Hindenburg disaster
		On May 6, 1937 at 19:25 the German zeppelin Hindenburg caught fire and was utterly destroyed within a minute while attempting to dock with its mooring mast at Lakehurst Naval Air Station in New Jersey.
		The Hindenburg was intended to be filled with helium but a United States military embargo on helium forced the Germans to use highly flammable hydrogen as the lift gas.
		Also, the naturally odorless hydrogen gas in the Hindenburg was 'odorised' with garlic so that any leaks could be detected, and nobody reported any smell of garlic during the flight or at the landing prior to the disaster.

		The Hindenburg was originally intended to be filled with helium, but a United States military embargo on helium led the Germans to modify the design of the ship to use highly flammable hydrogen as the lift gas.
		During the first year of service, LZ 129 had a special aluminium BlÃ¼thner grand piano on board in the music salon.
		Proponents of the IPT also point to fact that the naturally odorless hydrogen gas in the Hindenburg was "odorised" with garlic so that any leaks could be detected, and that there were no reports of garlic odors during the flight or prior to the fire.

		For the 1937 flying season, LZ 129 Hindenburg was to take the North Atlantic run from Frankfurt-am-Main, Germany, to Lakehurst, New Jersey, and LZ 127 Graf Zeppelin was to fly from Friedrichshafen, Germany, to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
		LZ 130 Graf Zeppelin II was being built, and another airship, LZ 131, was in the design stage.
		The presumption fostered by the 1937 Hindenburg crash in Lakehurst, New Jersey, that the hydrogen airships somehow ignited, causing the tragedy, and that it is therefore too volatile to be used as automotive fuel.

	Hindenburg
		She still holds the record as the largest aircraft ever to fly but, as majestic and awe-inspiring as she was, the Hindenburg was meant to be only the first of a fleet.

		The majestic airships Hindenburg and Graf Zeppelin were emblazoned with the swastika on their vertical fins and had already been flown on many propaganda flights over Germany dropping pamphlets and generally showing of the power of the Nazi movement.
