The zeppelin Hindenburg was an engineering feat which was a great source of pride for Germany. The Hindenburg was approximately three football fields long, and was kept afloat by 16 cells of highly flammable hydrogen gas. After making several uneventful trans-Atlantic trips, it burst into flames on May 6, 1937 while it was attempting to land at a U.S. naval air station in New Jersey during a rainstorm. A few seconds after the guide ropes were deployed to the ground crew, flames erupted from it. Approximately 30 seconds later, the Hindenburg fell to the ground.
Essential Question: After so many successful flights, why did this one cause the Hindenburg to burst into flames?
