Hindenburg Disaster

This photo shows the Hindenburg airship bursting into flames on May 6, 1937 at Lakehurst, New Jersey. 97 were aboard the Hindenberg with a total of 36 being killed including 13 passengers, 22 of the crew and one member of the ground crew.

The airship Hindenburg was running late the day of the disaster or many more may have been killed. Specators were barred from the mooring mast location so the ship could be prepared immediately upon landing for its return trip to Europe.

Radio reporter Herbert Morrison was describing the landing of the Hindenburg when it burst into flames. Morrison was understandably overcome with emotion as he described the fiery scene.
