What lessons were learned in the Hindenburg disaster?
1. Analysis of fuel in every aspects. 2. Highly inflammable fuel should not be used in the space at any cause. 3. Hydrogen is a future alternative fuel, It should be thoroughly studied and would be implemented.
Was the Hindenburg disaster a cause of World War 2?
It may have helped lead to WWII but the main reason for the cause as the Treaty of Versalies which blamed Germany for the problems in WWI Hitler was not happy the German was blamed and had to pay a lot for damages The Hindenberg was a rigid airship that exploded in Lakehurst ,New Jersey, in 1937. It was puportedly being developed for commercial transport.
What was the real cause of the Hindenburg?
The two possible causes are a highly flammable compound in the paint, or ignition of the hydrogen.
Explain how Addison Bain's results and other evidence led to the conclusion that the skin of the Hindenburg was a major cause of the fire that destroyed the airship?
The research showed that the skin of the Hindenburg was very flammable. This meant that if even a spark touched it, there was no chance of survival.
How did Mao's Great Leap forward cause an environmental disaster?
Earthquake
What problems do static electricity cause?
St Elmo's fire is one-that may have caused the Hindenburg disaster according to some

What are the positive effects on society from blimps?
Blimps outlined the idea of airplanes, which inspired many inventors. People also get smarter by debating the real cause oh the Hindenburg disaster! Lol!
What disaster starts with a?
An avalanche can cause a disaster.
What naturual disaster is caused by a tornado?
A tornado does not cause a natural disaster. It is a natural disaster.
Are human beings causes or victims of disaster?
cause of disaster
Why do we remember the Hindenburg not the Akron?
The Hindenburg was caught on film, and unlike the Akron it's cause was a mystery and it was an important nazi symbol as well and was also filled with flammable gas unlike the Akron
Why helium gas is used in balloons and air ships instead of hydrogen?
Hydrogen combines with oxygen with explosive force in the presence of a spark. Helium is an inert gas that will not burn or explode, so is much safer to use in balloons and air ships instead of hydrogen.The Hindenburg incident is a good example of why not to use hydrogen in a balloon. In the related links box below I posted an article on it.Helium is more chemically stable than hydrogen and will not burn.study island cheaters.Hydrogen burns very easily and helium doesn't. Because hydrogen is extremely flammable or explosive, it is extremely dangerous to use it in this application. That's why we see helium, and inert gas, used in these lighter than air craft.Because hydrogen is flamable and helium isnt. The airships need a fuel that isnt flamable because if there is a fire, the fuel with explode and cause a huge explosion that will put many peoples safety at risk. Therefore, the clearly safer option is heliumHydrogen is highly combustible and is more reactive compared to helium, as helium is an inert gas.I prefer hydrogen, it is cheaper and reactive. However Helium is often used because it is inert and doesn't burn.
Why was the skin of the Hindenburg a major cause of the fire that destroyed the airship?
It wasn't. (See link below).
