What Happened to the Hindenburg?
The disintegration of the Hindenburg in a ball of flames over Lakehurst, New Jersey in 1937 is one of the most famous disasters of the 20th century. It took more than 100 years to develop what was, in its day, the fastest, most technologically advanced and most luxurious form of transportation in the world. It took only 34 seconds to destroy it. The accident that put an end to the golden age of airships is widely believed to have been caused by the ignition of hydrogen gas used for lift. But Addison Bain, a retired NASA scientist, is not satisfied with that explanation. A hydrogen specialist who believes that it is the clean and safe fuel of the future, he sets out on a personal quest of theorizing and experimentation to prove that the Hindenburg's real flaw was only skin deep.
