About this listen
On the evening of May 6, 1937, the German airship LZ 129 Hindenburg approached its destination at Lakehurst Naval Air Station in New Jersey, marking the end of a smooth transatlantic journey from Frankfurt. The airship carried 97 people—passengers and crew—on what was expected to be a routine landing. But just as the ground crew prepared for its arrival, something went horribly wrong.
In mere seconds, the Hindenburg erupted into flames, crashing to the ground in a fiery disaster that would claim 36 lives and forever change the course of aviation history.
What caused the world’s most advanced airship to meet such a tragic fate? Was it a catastrophic failure in design, or a deadly encounter with the forces of nature?
In today’s episode, we’ll examine the fateful final flight of the Hindenburg, the crew's actions in those crucial moments, and the lasting impact this disaster had on the future of aviation. What truly brought the Hindenburg down? Let’s investigate The Flight Files of the Hindenburg disaster.
