PBS specail secrets of the dead the hindenburg disaster A former NASA hydrogen scientist has pretty much proved beyond doubt the hindenburg was fataly flawed in its skin covering which was impregnated with Iron Oxide and Alunimum Powder and a static charge set it off fromm improper grounding of the skin not a hydrogen leak.
I use a product called Cadweld which uses the 2 compounds to weld grounding wires together so I can bielieve a static charge could well be at fault.
sounds like the famous circus fire in hartford were gasoline was used as aweather proofing agent on the canvas tent.

were scientists and engineers that nieve years ago to design such items
or did they know the risks and design it any ways.
