Sure I saw film that showed a bomb was placed on board.

@Donkeyman , @Cinderella , I have seen documentaries with both those claims explored. Neither seem definitive.

Was the Hindenburg disaster sabotage?

Investigators from two countries determined that the Hindenburg zeppelin disaster was just an unfortunate accident, but the pilot went to his grave swearing his massive airship had been sabotaged.

Was The Hindenburg Disaster A Tragic Accident Or Nefarious Plot?

@Cinderella , l will deviate from the thread title just for you cinders !
In the original newsreel of the disaster there was niether sound nor sight
of an explosion , but there was an arc that travelled between the mast and the
envelope from which the flames spread along its length !
If a bomb had been used the explosion would have been in the passenger
cabin and would have been obvious to observers on the ground, this was
not so !
Another point is that the bonber would have to be present when the bomb
exploded ?? Not likely ?
So more likely to be a a later concocted conspiracy theory imo ?? :+1::roll_eyes::roll_eyes::+1:

Did you? I love this idea! Have you got an actual star, or is your name just randomly floating around on a bit of lined paper? :joy:

Mixed feelings about this, fascinated by the technology, fearful of the consequences.

It beggars belief that humans would be able to survive decelerating from 25000mph to 350mph ish, over a few short minutes!
