The first helium airship and the atomic bomb

Probably the most famous airship in history is the LZ 129 Hindenburg zeppelin, which suffered a fire on May 6, 1937. The accident killed 35 people and one of the culprits was hydrogen.

Although airships have fallen into disuse as a means of transportation, some can still be seen for publicity, atmospheric research, or military reconnaissance.
