Was the Hindenburg disaster exothermic or endothermic?
exothermic because it gave off heat
What day did the Hindenburg crash?
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.
How did people get off the Hindenburg?
They jumped out, most to their death. Some threw out mattresses to land on in an attempt to survive.
Did the Hindenburg carry an escape plane?
No, there was no escape plane on the Nazi propaganda airship known as the Hindenburg.Even if there was one, the passengers would not have been able to reach it in time. Hydrogen is highly flammable. The moment the first flame, by whatever caused the disaster (we still don't know for sure) touched the hydrogen, it started to burn up quicker than a rag doused in gasoline.Whether you believe it was a design fault, an accidental spark, a deliberate attack to stop the Nazi propaganda (the Hindenburg was being used by the Nazis to show off air superiority), whether it got caught on the mooring mast which ripped the balloon, static electricity and so on, the Hindenburg burnt up in less than thirty seconds. It would have taken two minutes to board the plane, another two minutes to fire up those old engines and an incredibly good pilot to not hit the ground at such a low docking height.You can see actual footage of the actual disaster, in which you can also see there is an absence of an escape plane.Some airships were designed to carry planes, such as biplane class planes or scout planes, and were used for a short time as airborne aircraft carriers.For example, the USS Akronand the USS Maconwere two such airships used for this.However, no, the Hindenburg did not have an escape plane on board. Even if it did, it would not have made any difference (aside from adding more fuel to the fire).
Do veterans get the day off on Veterans Day?
Even Active Duty Military Veterans might not get the Day off, my husband served multiple tours in Iraq but now is a Drill Sergeant and for them this is a regular training day which means off to work he goes. And actually today he'll be gone all day and all night :-)

How many planes take off each day worldwide?

Why was the Hindenburg filled with gas?
The Hindenburg was a Zeppelin (a German made lighter-than-air airship), similar to a modern day blimp. It was filled with hydrogen gas that gave it enough lift to allow it to get off the ground. Modern day blimps & balloons use helium gas. Helium has less lift capacity than Hydrogen, however it is not flammable. Hydrogen is flammable.
