First of all nice website about the Hindenburg. I got a quick question how many Hindenburg videos are there? Because someone mentioned he saw a rocket hitting the hindenburg in one of the videos.

I had heard that it flew up the Bras D'Or Lake and nearly hit the Grand Narrows Railway Bridge in Cape Breton the day before the disaster. What was the exact flight path over Nova Scotia?

I was familiar with some of them before, but not all. I would add that the small table to the far right includes members of the German Commission. From extreme right, Walter Hoffman, Max Dieckmann, and Guenther Bock. I'm not sure who the man in the black, round-rimmed glasses is. It's definitely not Breithaupt, Duerr, or Eckener. My assumption is that he's perhaps one of the translators. Dan, thanks for including the photo of the members of the Board of Inquiry along with names to put to the faces.

Many survivors were barely scratched. Others, like Captain Pruss, were horribly burned and spent weeks, even months in the hospital before they were able to return home. Some carried burn scars for the rest of their lives. I've been gathering what information I can about each of the people who were aboard the Hindenburg when it burned, and have posted my research at http://facesofthehindenburg.blogspot.com/ if you're interested in learning more.
