The coating on the Hindenburg had the same ingredients as current day rocket fuel. The German investigation became aware of this but hushed it up just before the War.

Did the Hindenburg crash?

The Hindenburg was not a plane; it was an airship, a type of balloon. It was filled with highly combustible Hydrogen instead of inert Helium; so when a static electric charge set of a spark as it was landing in Lakehurst, New Jersey, it exploded and went up in flames in a matter of minutes.


What was the exact location of the Hindenburg when it exploded in 1937?

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.


Is it true that 36 people died when the Hindenburg exploded?

Yes. 35 passengers and one member of the ground crew died on Thursday, May 6, 1937, when the German passenger airship LZ129 Hindenburg caught fire and was destroyed as it was attempting to dock at the Lakehurst Naval Air Station, Lakehurst, New Jersey.


Where was the Hindenburg when is crashed?

Lakehurst, New Jersey, USA.


Where did the Hindenburg take off from the day of the disaster?

Hindenburg's main German terminal for passenger operatrions was Frankfurt, although it sometimes departed from its home base in Friedrichshafen, Germany. In the United States, Hindenburg operated from the United States Naval Air Station at Lakehurst, New Jersey. Source: Airships.net
