Yes...but what actually set it off? Was it caused by leaking? Someone mentioned a camera flash bulb. I am not familiar with the timeframe involved, but as soon as they grounded that thing bad things were on the horizon. Should’ve kept it in Zeppelinheim!

Are you on the ground or in the helicopter? Air is a good insulator, so I would think the whole helicopter would acquire a different charge than the ground as it flies.

Can anyone here listen to radio broadcaster Herbert Morrison’s eyewitness account of the disaster without thinking about Les Nessman?

Possibly, but more likely to be the vaccine.

Highly disappointed that the smart Germans didn’t think of it before launching the Hindenburg. It’s called Titanic syndrome or Yamato syndrome.

Mr. Tesla was alive at that time. He could’ve given us the answer in one sentence.

I enjoy reading the research of intelligent scientists as opposed to the propaganda of democrat party “scientists”.

I’m on the ground when I need to handle the cable.

I wonder if there was any arcing between the mooring cables and the tower or the ground.

Um, this episode aired in 2021. They report it like it just happened. Lousy article? Lazy writer?

Hard to understand how greekreporter.com is so out of touch, considering this thing I learned about recently (internet). /s

So a spark in the center fuel tank?

Shocking that it could be something that simple, isn't it?

It was obviously a bomb that George C. Scott was unable to defuse in time.

It is a common and mandatory safety procedure to connect a ground cable to any aircraft as soon as it is parked and before anyone touches it other than the person connecting the cable.

The problem with the Hindenberg is that a wet rope does not constitute a reliable low resistance ground connection (5 ohms or less required in the USAF).

I read somewhere years ago that LI farmers were known to take pot shots at it during 1936 travel season.

The Germans probably had it figured out 5 minutes later.
