What characteristic of hydrogen caused the Hindenburg disaster?
Although hydrogen is an explosively flammable gas, indications are that the fact that the baloon was filled with hydrogen was not really much of a factor in the Hindenburg crash. Hydrogen burns very rapidly, and because of its density, flames would travel upwards, and be very short-lived. Most of the deaths from fire have been subsequently attributed to the aluminum paint used on the balloon.

What element was once used in the Hindenberg?
The Hindenburg was originally intended to be filled with helium, but a United States military embargo on helium forced the Germans to modify the design of the ship to use highly flammable hydrogen as the lift gas. (At the time the USA was the only country that could produce helium in the amounts required.) The Germans had considerable experience with using hydrogen and implemented necessary safety measures to preempt an accident. Prior to the Hindenburg disaster, their safety record was impressive.
What does one use aluminum powder for?

Because it's a lighter-than-air gas. Hydrogen could also be used, but hydrogen is extremely flammable, as the makers of the Hindenburg found out, whereas Helium does not react with oxygen and therefore will not burn.
