Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | On May 6, 1937, the German airship LZ 129 Hindenburg was about to land at what was at that time Lakehurst Naval Air Station in Lakehurst, New Jersey, after a trans-Atlantic flight from Frankfurt, Germany with 70 passengers aboard. The gigantic airship was a zeppelin—a lighter-than-air craft like a blimp, but with a rigid internal frame—and was filled with hydrogen rather than the usual helium.[1] It was the largest flying machine ever built at 263m in length, about four times the length of a Boeing 747 (and looking especially big considering since it was usually seen at a much lower altitude in flight), and was used as a commercial craft, like a luxury liner. |
