The German Zeppelin LZ 129 Hindenburg, exploded in midair as she was mooring at Naval Air Station Lakehurst, New Jersey, on May 6, 1937.

The Hindenburg was a passenger liner, but unlike today's airships, she carried volatile hydrogen gas instead of helium for her lifting capability. There is a long-held theory that she was the victim of an onboard bomb rather than just an accident.
