What happened to Hindenburg?

Answer 1

Hindenburg died on 2 August 1934. If you are referring to the Hindenburg airship: On 6 May 1937, the Hindenburg was approaching a mooring mast at Lakehurst Naval Air Station in New Jersey when it caught fire. The flames first appeared near the tail and, within 37 seconds, completely engulfed the ship. Of the 97 people on board, 35 were killed, as well as one of the ground crew. Various theories have been put forward regarding the cause of the blaze. Sabotage has been virtually ruled out. More likely theories suggest that the fire was started by a spark caused by static buildup, or that one of the many high-tension bracing wires within the structure of the airship may have snapped and punctured the fabric of one or more of the internal gas cells.

Answer 2

The answer to that has never been proven. There we're suggestions of sabotage, however the most popular belief at this point is a combination of factors as follows: Just prior to attempting to "land", the pilot made a hard, low turn, which may have cause one of the metal framing support to snap and rupture a hydrogen tank. The exterior of the Hindenburg was also painted with a flammable paint. They were flying into a thunderstorm and the thought is that St. Elmo's fire (electrical charged particles sometimes found during thunderstorms) ignited the leaking hydrogen and/or the flammable paint.

Answer 3

The german airship crashed when securing (landing) in New York and burst into flames. All on board were killed. This made the end of the airship era.

Answer 4

The Hindenburg Zeppelin was filled with volatile hydrogen so that it would fly; exactly what caused the explosion that destroyed the airship is uncertain and widely debated.

Answer 5

Many died of burns. Others died of smoke inhalation. But the majority of the fatalities were from those who tried in vain to jump from the doomed zeppelin. 37 died that day.
