The Hindenburg disaster occurred on May 6, 1937, when the German airship 'Hindenburg LZ 129' caught fire while preparing for landing in New Jersey on the American east coast. Fed with hydrogen, contained in the balloon, the flames quickly engulfed the vessel, killing 36 people. This tragedy marked the end of the airship era.
