Line 23:
* [[Oh, the Humanity!]] - Morrison's emotional broadcast recording actually included the words "all the humanities, all the passengers". Humanity was a known Morrison-ism for any large group of people.

* [[What Could Possibly Go Wrong?]] - The Germans had not had any trouble with hydrogen in airships before, and believed they were taking adequate safety precautions.
