"It's burst into flames! Get this, Charlie; understand this, Charlie! It's hearth... and it's crashing! It's crashing bad! Oh, my! Escape the way, please! It's burning and bursting into flames and the... and it's dropping on the mooring mast. And everything the folks agree that this is bad; this is actually the worst of the worst catastrophes on the globe...its flames... Crashing, oh! Four or five-hundred ft into the sky and it...it's a good crash, ladies and gentlemen. It's smoke, and it's in flames now; and the framework is crashing to the bottom, nearly to the mooring mast. Oh, the mankind!" (Herb Morrison's broadcast of the Hindenburg disaster) Societies across the globe are amazingly thankful for all the modern devices and opportunities which may have been developed as time passes, including the automobiles and planes which may have allowed people to travel long ranges in a nutshell times, but it is often easy to ignore that these advances was included with a price. Car accidents and plane crashes leave the headlines almost as quickly as they go into them, partly because they're recognized as the sort of things that arise with technological developments. That was not the situation, however, with the Hindenburg disaster. ON, MAY 6, 1937, the famous passenger zeppelin burst into flames while wanting to dock in NJ, and the horrific scenes were captured on film and broadcast over the radio. The Hindenburg was carrying practically 100 people and was still hundreds of ft in the air when it trapped fire, therefore the proven fact that only 35 people perished between the hearth and the airship plummeting to the bottom was much lower than it might have been.
