The Hindenburg was filled with Hydrogen, a very flammable gas. It is believed that a spark of some kind came in contact with the fragile thin skin of the blimp and that it caused the Hindenburg to ignite. After the ignition, the blimp's hydrogen was blown up by the spreading fire. So then, the burning remainders fell to the surface below.
