its called CAUGHT ON FIRE AND BURNED TO THE GROUND
yes
Hindenburg
Hydrogen!
It was hydrogen. That's why it caught fire. Modern airships use helium.
The Hindenburg caught fire due to being filled with highly flammable hydrogen gas which was ignited by the effects of static electricity.
No, "Hindenburg" is not a pronoun. It is a proper noun referring to the German airship LZ 129, which famously caught fire in 1937. Pronouns are words that can take the place of nouns, like "he," "she," or "it."
None of them. The Cuyahoga River caught fire. It feeds into Lake Erie, which is perhaps the reason the questioner thought that one of the Great Lakes had caught fire.
no!!!!!the Hindenburg did not explode. its aluminum painted skin caught fire from an electrostatic discharge. that fire ignited ordinary chemical hydrogen/oxygen fires as the lift gas bladders breached.no nuclear fusion was involved. not even a chemical explosion occurred.
LZ 129 Hindenburg caught fire and crashed in Lakehurst New Jersey on May 6, 1937
The Hindenburg disaster took place on Thursday, May 6, 1937, as the German passenger airship LZ 129 Hindenburg caught fire and was destroyed during its attempt to dock with its mooring mast at the Lakehurst Naval Air Station, which is located adjacent to the borough of Lakehurst, New Jersey.- wikipedia
The Hindenburg was originally intended to be filled with helium, but a United States military embargo on helium forced the Germans to modify the design of the ship to use highly flammable hydrogen as the lift gas. (At the time the USA was the only country that could produce helium in the amounts required.) The Germans had considerable experience with using hydrogen and implemented necessary safety measures to preempt an accident. Prior to the Hindenburg disaster, their safety record was impressive.
