The Hindenburg was a great airship, so great that it is the largest flying object ever built! It was long 245m and wide 50m and it contained a huge amount of hydrogen (very light gas that made it float in the air), touching a top speed of 135 kmph!
In 1937, the flammable gas caught fire, causing a huge explosion and the crash of the Hindenburg: 35 people died, many of them burned and others threw themselves into the void to escape the flames. Since that day the way to fly changed forever because people were very discouraged.
