That the enclosed hydrogen gas caught fire and caused the entire "balloon" portion to explode.
There is another theory though, and that is that the paint on the balloon part, or "dope", which is designed to keep the gases inside, in the case of the Hindenburg airship, included two of the three main ingredients of thermite, which caused the catastrophic explosion. This theory though, no matter how plausible it may seem, has since been disproved by the Mythbusters, but feel free to ignore their conclusive tests if you so wish.
