What burst into flame at Lakehurst New Jersey on May 6 1937?
The Airship Hindenburg. It was caught on film & is terrible. It was a German Transatlantic Dirrigible.
How much hydrogen was in the Hindenburg?
The Hindenburg had a maximum gas capacity of 7,062,000 cubic feet of hydrogen. Only about 5.5 to 6 million cubic feet were still aboard when the ship crashed (the rest having been valved during her transatlantic crossing from Germany to America).
What were the Nazi doing the fall of the Hindenburg?
The Hindenburg was a commercial airship operated by the Zeppelin Company to provide transatlantic passenger service. While the Nazi Party used the Hindenburg and other airships for propaganda purposes, they were not military aircraft nor were they operated by the Nazis. (Also, the Nazis did not like the fact that the airship was named after Paul von Hindenburg). During 1936, the Hindenburg made 17 roundtrip flights across the Atlantic, including 10 to the United States.Travel on the Hindenburg was very comfortable and luxurious--much more enjoyable than transatlantic air travel today. It was expensive, though, and Hindenburg passengers frequently included famous people and celebrities.It is important to understand that Germany was not at war with the United States (or anyone else) during 1936. However, the United States did refuse to sell helium to Germany during this period. Had the Hindenburg been filled with helium, rather than hydrogen, the fire and crash at Lakehurst, New Jersey, would not have occurred.
