How could the Hindenburg disaster been avoided?
no
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).

What was the aim of the zeppelins?
The theory of airships in general was to provide a lifting body that could carry passengers in reasonable comfort and speed cheaply ( compared to winged aircraft. ) The Zeppelins were supremely efficient airships for their day. The US Navy liked this idea in the late 1920's and had 2 airships made as flying aircraft carriers. They were almost as big as the largest Zeppelin, Hindenburg, and could carry, launch and retrieve 5 fighter aircraft each.

Can flying cause a seizure?
Epilepsy has a wide variety of forms, causes and severity. Most people with epilepsy would have absolutely no problem with flying. For some people stress can cause seizures. If someone was very stressed about flying, they could get a seizure, but it would be the stress, not the flying itself that causes them to have a seizure. So you can say that flying does not cause seizures.
