El desastre del Hindenburg

The Hindenburg was a German airship that began transatlantic voyages in 1936. In May 1937, it caught fire while attempting to land in New Jersey, resulting in 35 deaths. The cause of the disaster remains debated, with theories ranging from hydrogen leaks to static electricity reacting with the airship's coating. The disaster marked the end of the airship industry, as planes replaced them within four years.
