Yes and no. The Hindenburg caught on fire just outside Lakehurst, NJ when it attempted to dock at its mooring station on May 6, 1937. It did not "blow up" or explode, although many stories describe this. What did occur was a very rapid fire that engulfed the airship that was started by the ignition of the hydrogen gas used inside for lift. The disaster was eventually blamed on the fabric covering its structure more than the use of the hydrogen gas used to provide lift.

Hindenburg is the name of a very big airship destroyed in 1937 in an accident.
The Hindenburg was not a plane; it was an airship, a type of balloon. It was filled with highly combustible Hydrogen instead of inert Helium; so when a static electric charge set of a spark as it was landing in Lakehurst, New Jersey, it exploded and went up in flames in a matter of minutes.
