Best Answer

German zeppelins, or rigid airships, were filled with hydrogen gas. Hydrogen is very flammable, so if there was a leak in the gas bag, any spark could set the airship on fire. However, this only happened once, to the airship Hindenburg, which burned and crashed while landing at Lakehurst, New Jersey.

To be honest, zeppelins were pretty safe ways to travel.
