Beskrivelse

On the evening of May 6, 1937, at a remote New Jersey airport, a massive diesel-powered airship met a tragic fate as it attempted to land after its transatlantic journey from Germany. In a shocking moment witnessed by countless spectators, the Hindenburg erupted into flames, transforming from a marvel of engineering into a haunting symbol of disaster. Eight decades later, experts have revisited this catastrophic event, examining new evidence and reinterpreting the circumstances surrounding the elusive spark that caused the explosion. Yet, the conclusions of the original 1937 U.S. Department of Commerce investigation remain largely unchanged. For the first time, the full official report is presented in audio format, offering listeners a profound insight into this pivotal moment in aviation history. (Summary by Scott Danneker)
