Best Answer

The gas bag of the Hindenburg dirigible was filled with hydrogen gas. The reaction was, at least initially, combination of hydrogen with oxygen from the air to produce water and much heat. The heat eventually triggered other reactions, such as oxidation of the passengers. Reaction of other materials with oxygen to produce gaseous products is generally called "combustion".
