It still amazes me that ANYONE managed to survive & walk away from this. Traumatised but still alive .
When you see the video of this catastrophe, it is absolutely amazing that anyone survived.
My grandfather, a young local physician rushed to the scene.Many victims suffered from high impact trauma from the fall and not so much burns as he would later explain.
I‘m always in awe of older videos like this where guys are working, no safety equipment, no harness, and no fear. Just going about their day 100 something feet in the air welding a frame together. Whistling, wondering when’s lunch, casually being awesome. It’s so wild to me that was just normal. It’s also wild to have a smoking room on a huge hydrogen propelled flying machine. One stray cigarette.. oh never mind
I grew up in Lakehurst 3rd generation. My great grandfather was part of the landing crew. He survived but his back was broken from the frame of the Hindenburg.
Never did see the TRUTH as advertised for the video!!! 🤔
I sometimes wonder; if the Hindenburg hadn't gone up in flames and injured/killed several people, would we be traveling by a more modern, safer, and faster airship today? Or would we still have found our way to passenger planes, cruise ships, and long-distance passenger trains? I know no one can accurately answer that, but it's interesting to think about.
I saw it to the end. I did not disover the truth.
5:44 - I was very confused when he reported the number of people on board followed by a dramatic "ALL perished in this event." I had to relisten to realize he meant "OF the 97 people on board, only SOME perished as a result of the disaster" (the numbers he gives after the 97)
