The new documentary “What Destroyed the Hindenburg” premiered last night on the Discovery Channel. Here are two clips from the program:

I just returned last night from six days in Friedrichshafen. I will try to post a description of my trip and photos in the next few days.
I watched the show on yotube and i quite enjoyed it but i have a couple of questions. If there was a large hydrogen leak as the inquires said then why was it not detected on the panel in the control car? I thought that there was a instrument that checked the fullness of each cell so if cell 4 was leaking badly should it not have been detected?Also if Pruss and Lehmann knew that there was a major leak then could they have aborted the high landing and quickly gone to the ground low because of the electrical diferences in the atmosphere? I know that the ground crew was smaller because of the high moor but if they knew of the leak then they should have gotten on the ground asap.
Excellent footage! I want to get the DVD if possible too!
Dear Dan
I was wondering if and when this may come out on DVD as i don’t have pay T.V i would dearly love to see this Documentary it looks Intriguing and has some new ideas and footage i have not seen or really thought about. so if it at some point may be released on DVD i would very much like to see it! :).
P.S Dear dan and all my fellow LTA Enthusiast’s i wish you all a very merry safe happy and jolly Christmas and New Year!! 😀
Regards Jason Wallace 🙂
