The hydrogen balloon Hindenburg exploded on May 6, 1937. This tragic event occurred while the airship was attempting to land at Naval Air Station Lakehurst in New Jersey. The disaster resulted in the deaths of 36 people and is often cited as a pivotal moment in the decline of airship travel.

In 1930, Germany was the Weimar Republic and had no dictator. Paul von Hindenburg was the President of the Weimar Republic in 1930.
In 1933 Hitler became Chancellor as his party (the National Socialist German Workers Party) was the biggest in the Reichstag and all the other Chancellors appointed by President Hindenburg had failed. In 1934 President Hindenburg died and Hitler added the power of President to the power he already had as Chancellor, making himself the Fuhrer.
It was on 15 February 1898 in Havana Harbor.
Hitler became Chancellor of Germany in January 1933. This was the rough equivalent of prime minister. There was also a German President, who was the aged WWI hero, Paul von Hindenburg. Hindenburg died in the summer of 1934. At that time Hitler, who had been consolidating his power, with the 80-plus year old Hindenburg too old and sick to pay much attention, announced that he would henceforth also assume the duties of President, and that his new title would be Fuhrer ("leader").
The Hindenburg blew up in 1937.
hot air balloon.
1952 Ivy Mike. Tested on Eugelab island of Eniwetok Atoll. Erased the island.
Balloons were invented in 1824 by Professor Michael Faraday. He created the first rubber balloon by filling a cloth with hydrogen gas.
The first hot air balloons were flown by the Montgolfier brothers in France in the year 1783. Etienne Montgolfier tested the tethered balloon, which was used on November 21, 1783 by its pilots, Jean-François Pilâtre de Rozier and (Marquis) François Laurent d'Arlandes. Rozier later created a hybrid hydrogen/ hot-air balloon that competed with pure-hydrogen balloons.
Jacques Alexandre Charles first attempted to use hydrogen as a replacement for hot air in hot air balloons in 1783. This led to the first manned flight using hydrogen gas in December of the same year.
he does explode they just get a new person every year.

They 6 year old boy was NEVER in the balloon. it was just a hoax.and..i guess. the boy is fine. seriously, why do you care what happend to the balloon? O_O
The first successful hot air balloon ascent in the United States took place on September 23, 1783. This flight was conducted by a Frenchman, Jacques Alexandre Charles, in a hydrogen balloon in Philadelphia. The event marked a significant milestone in the history of aviation and sparked interest in ballooning across the country.
