What Caused The Hindenburg Disaster
IT’S A BIRD, IT’S A PLANE…….. IT’S THE HINDENBURG THAT HAD A DISASTER IN 1937!
The Hindenburg was a zeppelin (a type of flying machine that looks like a blimp) that was made during a time where Germany was ruled as Nazi Germany. The Hindenburg was launched in March, 1936, and was invented in 1936. When the Hindenburg was launched, the idea was to cross the Atlantic Ocean to U.S. with passengers traveling there. The Hindenburg ran on helium and was a commercial transportation and had passengers pay a lot of money to get on it. The Hindenburg had to run on hydrogen because the U.S. had restrictions on Nazi Germany. The inventor of the Hindenburg was Count Ferdinand Von Zeppelin and made many other zeppelins. The Hindenburg disaster was a disaster that started out with a destination that Hindenburg was heading for, Lakehurst Naval Air Station, New Jersey. At the time the Hindenburg was heading to Lakehurst, it was holding 97 people on the Hindenburg, there was 36 passengers and 61 crew members on it. On May 6th, 1937, the Hindenburg made it to Lakehurst, New Jersey. The Hindenburg was getting ready for a landing and started pouring …show more content…
After this disaster and other zeppelin disasters, countries stop making zeppelins because of the Hindenburg disasters and other zeppelin disasters. The zeppelin disasters (mainly the Hindenburg disaster) inspired people to improve commercial air flight. Theories were made like an anti-Nazi person had sabotage the Hindenburg and made the fire and another theory is that an electrostatic discharge (a spark) hit hydrogen and caused the fire. This theory was the only theory that made sense and was proven to be true in a test to see what caused the Hindenburg to catch on fire. After all this, the clean took a while and the crash was an devastating mess. The Hindenburg wasn’t the biggest air flight incident but became one of the biggest disasters in the
