Discover the remarkable history of the Hindenburg Disaster…
In 1937, passengers could cross the Atlantic in unprecedented luxury aboard the world’s most advanced aircraft. The Hindenburg was a marvel that defied belief. Stretching over 800 feet (245 meters)-longer than three jumbo jets placed end to end-this colossal airship represented the pinnacle of 1930s technology. Thirteen stories tall and powered by engines that propelled it at nearly 80 mph (125 km/h), it could ferry passengers between Europe and the Americas in half the time of the fastest ocean liner. For those who could afford it, the Hindenburg offered an experience like no other. Passengers dined in an elegant restaurant with panoramic windows, relaxed in opulent lounges while a pianist played a grand piano, and retired to private cabins heated by the ship’s engines. From its 1936 launch through early 1937, this floating palace carried nearly 3,000 passengers across 200,000 miles (320,000 kilometers)-including 17 Atlantic crossings-without a single injury. There was only one thing that made prospective passengers a little nervous: the Hindenburg stayed aloft thanks to 7 million cubic feet (200,000 cubic meters) of hydrogen gas-one of the most explosive substances known to humanity. Every spark, every electrical discharge, every moment of static electricity posed a mortal threat to everyone aboard.
On May 6, 1937, in just 32 seconds, that threat became reality. This is the story of the Hindenburg disaster.
