	Hindenburg (airship) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Another proponent of the sabotage hypothesis was Max Pruss, commander of the Hindenburg throughout the airship's career.
		Pruss flew on nearly every flight of the Graf Zeppelin until the Hindenburg was ready.
		Pruss stated that on trips to South America, which was a popular destination for German tourists, both ships passed through multiple thunderstorms with lightning striking the ship without any trouble whatsoever.

		Max Pruss, a German pilot and the captain of the famed airship, tells how the Hindenburg carried as many as 50 passengers in first-class style and was considered relatively safe--at least until May 6, 1937, when the airship burst into flames and was completely destroyed.
		Pruss: Yes, that was in 1929 with the Graf Zeppelin, and on other flights, too, to the Arctic and to South America.
		Pruss: From New York to Frankfurt, the shortest flight on the Hindenburg was 47 hours and the longest was 71.

		Her max volume was 7,062,940 cubic feet, with a length of 803.8 feet, and diameter of 153.3 feet.
		Pruss, a very cautious man, piloted the ship in circles for three hours to wait out the storm.
		Pruss followed orders and dropped the lines, and set the engines in reverse to add a braking effect.

		Another proponent of the sabotage theory was Max Pruss, commander of the Hindenburg throughout the airship's in-service career.
		In a 1960 interview conducted by Kenneth Leish on behalf of Columbia's Oral History Research Office, he described early dirigible use as safe and felt strongly that the explosion was caused by sabotage.
		Although the evidence is by no means conclusive, a reasonably strong case can be made for an alternative theory that the fire was started by a spark caused by static buildup.

		Professor Max Dieckmann, who was a chief investigator for the Germans, subscribed to a similar theory as to the theory discussed earlier.
		He believed that the spark that ignited the ship was not due to St. Elmo’s fire, but to a spark simply jumping between a damp spot on the outer skin and the metal frame.
		Finally I would like to thank Max Dieckmann and Addison Bain, because without the experiments that they conducted, the cause of the Hindenburg crash would be even more mysterious.

		The Americans were anxious to avoid an international incident and the Germans were embarrassed that the cause might have been a design flaw in the ship or the result of foul play.
		Some theories suggest that when Commander Pruss made his final turn to land, a support wire snapped inside the ship tearing one of the hydrogen gas cells.
		When the mooring ropes (wet from the storm) were dropped to the ground, the frame discharged, creating an electrical differencial between the frame and covering which started the fire.

		In command of the vessel was Captain Max Pruss who steered Hindenburg on a smooth and uneventful journey across the Atlantic.
		Commander Charles Rosendahl, who was in charge of the Naval Air Station at Lakehurst, transmitted messages to Captain Pruss advising the Hindenburg to delay landing and remain in a circular flight pattern beyond the edge of the storm until the winds subsided.
		Among the survivors were Captain Pruss and both of the crewmen from the tail who had first observed the fire.

	Hindenburg Theories (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Although the Hindenburg appeared to be stern-heavy as it began its landing sequence, Commander Pruss maintained that this was normal.
		Some witnesses spoke of a small portion of the Hindenburg's skin flapping in the wind, and it was suggested that the sharp left turn ordered by Commander Pruss as the airship approached the field had caused a wire to snap.
		While the majority of surviving crew members believed that sabotage was the only possible cause, they (notably Commander Pruss) insisted it had to be a passenger, rather than one of their faithful crewmates.

		Max Pruss, the captain of the doomed ship, insisted there was no indication of gas loss on the bridge, riggers reported all gas cells were evenly inflated, and no one reported smelling garlic, the scent of which had been added to the lifting gas to help detect a leak.
		The lab reported that fabric from the LZ-130, an airship that had been under construction at the time of the Hindenburg fire, displayed spectrograph spikes of sulfur and calcium that were absent from the earlier airships.
		Why had the Germans added calcium sulfamate, a textile fireproofing agent, to the new ship when Hugo Eckener himself had blamed hydrogen?" "Bain's theory was taking shape: Captain Pruss and company had just chosen the wrong night to accept the American suggestion to make a "high" landing.
