Hindenburg Disaster
“Lakehurst Naval Air Station, May 6, 1937. The great zeppelin's tail bursts into flame as it nears the mooring mast. Foreground shows ground crew scattering with mooring lines and a radio reporter with a microphone open-mouthed; midground reveals passengers leaping from windows into ground crew arms; orange fire engulfs 800 feet of silver hull against a darkening New Jersey sky.”
