About this listen

In 1937, the Hindenburg, the world’s largest airship, burst into flames in front of a shocked crowd, marking one of history’s most infamous disasters. But why did it explode? Was it a tragic accident, or was something more at play? In this episode of OKAY BUT WHY, we dive into the airship’s design, the shocking final moments, the famous “Oh, the humanity!” broadcast, and the theories behind the disaster—from static electricity to sabotage. Plus, we explore how this fiery tragedy changed aviation forever.
