Were was the hindenberg scheduled to fly?
The Hindenburg (Dirigible) was scheduled to operate between Frankfurt Germany and Lakehurst Naval Air Station, located in the Manchester Township of New Jersey, USA. The then young 'American Airlines' was contracted to shuttle Hindenburg passengers from Lakehurst on to Newark, New Jersey, to connect to onward flights via American. The Hindenburg departed Frankfurt on the evening of May 3rd, 1937, the first of its planned ten scheduled return flights between Germany and the US. It carried thirty-six revenue passengers and sixty-one crew members for the three-day journey to the states. The airship's tragic fate came about on the early evening of May 6th, when it burst into flames. The airship was destroyed in less than a minute. Thirteen passengers and twenty-two crew survived the disaster. Whilst Lakehurst was the scheduled destination for the forthcoming season, the Empire State Building in Manhattan had been constructed to receive airships or Zeppelins. The building's distinctive Art Deco spire was originally designed as a mooring mast and depot for dirigibles. At the 102nd floor there was a landing platform with gangplank to embark and disembark passengers. However, the concept proved a failure due to the dangers of powerful updraughts created by the building itself. A vestige of the memory remains today whenever tourists ascend to the top of the building. The first lift whisks tourists to the eighty-sixth floor, which was to be the check-in desk for the dirigible flights, then passengers would board the second lift, taking them to the 102nd floor for embarkation.
