the Hindenburg can hold 40 to 60 crew members and 70 passengers
The most famous airship known is called The Hindenburg. The Hindenburg was a German passenger airship from the 1930's era. The Hindenburg had a fatal disaster as it tried to dock in Lakehurst, New Jersey on May 6, 1937, killing 36 passengers, 61 crew members and one ground crewman out of the 97 total on board.
The Hindenburg was filled with highly flammable hydrogen gas which ignited as the airship was landing at Lakehurst NJ in 1936. 35 of the 97 passengers and crew, as well as one ground crew worker, were killed in the inferno.
72 passengers 50 crew
Around 7:00 p.m. local time on May 6, at an altitude of 650 ft (200 m), Hindenburg approached Naval Air Station Lakehurst with Captain Max Pruss at the helm. Twenty-five minutes later, the airship caught fire and crashed, completely engulfed in flames, in only 37 seconds. Of the 36 passengers and 61 crew on board, 13 passengers and 22 crew died. One member of the ground crew was also killed, making a total of 36 lives lost in the disaster.
It is doubtful since that was nearly a hundred years ago. Any soldier who was in that war had to have been born no later than 1900. Answer The Hindenburg disaster took place May 6, 1937. There were survivors and many of their stories remain in videos. Of the 36 passengers and 61 crew on board, 13 passengers and 22 crew died.
Passengers, Crew, and of course, Terrorists!
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.
