I know we've seen it all before but it's worth repeating .... IMHO.

A color photograph of the dining room aboard the Hindenburg.
 

I saw a good doco about that, it went into the materials, the structure, the gas, the reason it went up so fast but not what caused it. Guess we'll never know that. Amazing as many survived as there were.


btw DB, how old is Jeanette Howard? Isn't this her in the photo?

Oh I've never seen some of those photos before. Wow.

It's hard to believe anybody survived that, that fact has always astounded me.

I read someplace or saw some documentary that speculated it was the glue used in the covering that made it go up in flames so fast, something like that, basically I can only half remember what they said.

Much like everything else rolling around in my brain. Some vague memory, or perhaps it just sounds good.
