Stunning Images of the Hindenburg Disaster
Includes an image of the airship over manhattan. Interesting to see the images of Nazis being on American soil in the 1930s. (www.wjactv.com) Daha Fazlası...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I see that it is suggested that Hydrogen was used simply because it was cheaper. Not so. Germany wanted to use Helium, but the only source at that time was the U.S. Unfortunately, the U.S. government refused access to the Helium so Germany had no alternative but to use the Hydrogen. Not sure why access to Helium was denied, possibly some anti Nazi attitude or even a bit of jealousy that Nazi Germany had built such an incredible ( for the time ) flying machine.
I have long been fascinated by the Hindenburg disaster. Great pics!
Congratulations. These photos are really great and show us details of the disaster and how they took providences in order to avoid more injuries and deaths.
Excellent pictures. I hate to see something like that happen, but we did learn from it. We can't change the past, but we can change the future.
A great picture of the Hindenburg drifting by The Empire State building. Especially when you consider that the Titanic was only about 80 feet longer than the Hindenburg.
These were common citizens of Germany as well as the United States. Not a military craft or military personnel. The war was 2 years away. Making a statement like "I used to feel bad for these people..." is not only ignorant it is just plain hateful and the poster has no business using this forum.
