What's your thoughts on the Hindenburg????

Whats your thought on the Hindenburg accident to you think it was a sabotage or was it a terrible accident :confused:

It was a design flaw. The captian put to much strain on the ship to make a good showing. Same deal as Titanic in a general sense.

Flying around with a ‘bag’ full of hydrogen is in itself an accident looking for a place to happen. The ‘design flaw’ was in using hydrogen instead of helium.

I cannot agree more, it was just ridiculous putting that flying bomb in service.

I heard on the show mythbusters that the paint mixture and the helium were the reasons it burst in flames,and started by static from a thunder storm that it past.

So far as the paint goes, maybe not.
