- The Hindenburg disaster took place on Thursday, May 6, 1937, as the German passenger airship LZ 129 Hindenburg caught fire and was destroyed during its attempt to dock with its mooring mast at Naval Air Station Lakehurst, which is located adjacent to the borough of Lakehurst, New Jersey. Of the 97 people on board[N 1] (36 passengers and 61 crewmen), there were 35 fatalities of whom 13 were passengers and 22 were crewmembers. In addition one worker on the ground was killed, making a total of 36 people who lost their lives.
The disaster was the subject of spectacular newsreel coverage, photographs, and Herbert Morrison's recorded radio eyewitness reports from the landing field, which were broadcast the next day. A variety of hypotheses have been put forward for both the cause of ignition and the initial fuel for the ensuing fire. The incident shattered public confidence in the giant, passenger-carrying rigid airship and marked the end of the airship era.

Maybe its just me and my way of thinking/rationalization. A memorial plaque to mark the location of an event, while not a gravesite should be respected and treated as such. If in fact that is the spot where the Hindenburg plummeted down engulfed in flames. That land had the bodies of those who parishes that evening. So to me placing a memorial plaque then people walking all iver it stepping over the plaque is exactly like having a bunch of people in the cemetery sitting on head stones stepping over them in passing.. Different yes, but in theory the same. Maybe its just me...
I was thinking the same thing.
Me too. People are dumb. Just look at the chinese tourists durning the budhist air burials. Take a swim at pearl harbor smh
Maybe. But at some point , if you know it or not, I would imagine that most places on earth have some sorts of this. People have been dying all over the place for a very long time
Good I would step all over it March March March stomp stomp stomp and jump up and down with my big boos showing and smother them all over the grave with mayonnaise and general and of course the “insane sex” all mighty
The same one you said applies to the memorial of the twin towers in Manhattan.
I've been there for training man years ago and inside that large hanger. Wow is an understatement when you walk inside to see how tall those places were to house these large airships.
What's it used for today? Or does it sit empty ?
@David Alexandrovich it's probably still there as a historical landmark with the hangar because airships aren't used as much
A venerated site. My elders often referred to the Hindenburg. My parents were too young to remember but they were schooled by their elders on the disaster as they grew up. My mother would make a point of mentioning the Lakehurst NAS each time we traveled to the New Jersey shore from just over the bridge in Pennsylvania. I don't recall every bit of my mother's running commentary as we drove past but it was pretty gripping.
I'm studying the Hindenburg as well. Very fascinating airship!
Is the memorial suppose to be actual size of the ship? Looks small.
No. It's the outlines of the gondola, marking the spot where it came down.
No the ship was fucking huge it’s just the size of the cab
I have been there, for training...and that hangar is gigantic...unless you see it in person...hard to imagine its size
Sería genial conocer ese sitio histórico!
Is that memorial, or the zeppelin on a pole, oriented a certain way - the final heading of Hindenburg, etc?
it tells which way the wind blows
No its memorial also why its placed there because this memorial where the hindenburg crashed location
It's celebrating led zeppelin.
@@randombuilder9670 I know why they put it there. I'm talking about the direction the 'Hindenburg' silhouette is heading. Does it swivel when the wind blows, or is it fixed to approximate the final direction Hindenburg was going when it caught fire?
I'm studying the Hindenburg
I’ve always wondered what the chains were around the memorial. Answers?
Man I wished I remembered the anniversary date. Its been 80 years! I should have gone to visit it!
that long? it was in 1937when hindenberg blew up
i saw the water tower in the background that was in the hindenburg explosion video
Is that the exact spot she came down
I'd love to see this in person...
I have, and it's worth it
Really? Then hire a HUGE helium balloon and then set it afire
DARE YA KIM C
I can only imagine a 805 ft. ridged Zeppelin hovering 300ft. above the ground and exploding. The blast was the largest blast heard, the explosion was that largest ever seen, the mushroom cloud went hundreds of feet into the air and the shockwave was felt for miles. And. It was caught on camera, making the Hindenburg explosion the first ever air disaster on film. The explosion was heard miles away, the blast was seen for miles. Remember, back in 1937, Lakehurst was very rural, so there was a lot of open spaces. People were paid $1.25 to help land the Hindenburg, they joined 92 Naval crew members that were stationed at Lakehurst.
Is it possible to visit
I wanna metal detect around for relics!
wow. the grass is still burnt
Led Zeppelin's first album.
not the best of ideas.
Oh the humanity
The site looks smaller than the actual length of the Hindenberg.
Does that chain outline represent the entire size of the airship? Seems quite small to me.
Rob Durant represents the area of the passenger cabin
Jon Cooper thank you for clarifying that for me.
Small still considering the cabin extended up into the framework of the airship. Not just the space in the gondola hanging below
Not the passemger cabin - just the control car
what happened to the wreckage? Did it disintegrate? Did someone move it?
i think it was burried
@@leonchua5948 It was scrapped
They probably could've kept the wreck there as a memorial but I think they scrapped it
Some of the duralumin framework of the airship was salvaged and shipped back to Germany, where it was recycled and used in the construction of military aircraft for the Luftwaffe.
Wow shocking how small it was...looked way bigger in the videos
I used to live super close to this
Could I please have your autograph?
i love history
it should be remembered
Is Lakehurst in South or North Jersey?
Tomáš a Anička south
@@lamachina64 In past life i was born in family farm in Lakehurst December 2, 1900.
I live like 30 minutes away from here.
Whoopee!
0:32 is the hindenburg really this big?
So like, where are it's remains? Because the frame of the hindenburg was mostly intact. Is there like a scrap yard some where with a pile of tangled metal? Did i drink a Coke Can that was probably made from it? What happened to the engines?
The wreckage was hauled away, then shipped back to Germany.
what happened to the wreckage of the Hindenburg?
It was hauled away as scrap; some of the metal went back to Germany.
Is it true that if you're not a US citizen, that you're not allowed to visit the Hindenburg Crash site?
Yep
@PhreshFunk Because its an active naval station. DoD rules.
Why would it be an active naval station if a very famous airship spontaneously combusted there 90 years ago and remains a well kept landmark? Like seriously, almost every other landmark is free to visit regardless of countries.
For some reason it’s a navy base it should be something to remember this landmark
Much better than it used to be.
Is that the actual chain used to moor the ship?
The chains are from anchors of Navy ships
I was literally there before
No way!!!
I went there in1970 for Aviation Fuel School. ABFAN
REALLY PISSES ME OFF HOW PEOPLE WALK INSIDE OF CHAIN AREA. i WOULD PLACE A FENCE AROUND THE WHOLE AREA, IT IS A GRAVE SITE, PEOPLE DIED THERE.
Years later you came along and said straight facts👍
It's not a gravesite. No one is buried there. People die on roadways every single day and yet we continue to drive our automobiles RIGHT OVER the exact spots these people were killed. Why don't we fence those areas off out of respect?.....hmmm?
they get to be respected more than most with their own memorial site which thousands get to visit, remember, and pay their respects.......chill out dude
Guys look all that dead grass is still there!
R.I.P HINDINGBERG
Sad that people had to die because people wanted to save money on which air to put into the tanks, it was a very very bad disaster and my heart goes out to the families.
Tóth Arnold No, the United States had an embargo on Helium, which was safer, so hydrogen had to be used.
@@corrigan0543 damn... why ban it
Tóth Arnold Helium was not as common and was not as availabe, so they tried to conserve it so that it wouldnt go to waste (something like a zeppelin would have used a lot)
@@corrigan0543 ahhhh right
How is this Memorial about 12 ft wide when the Hindenburg was probably 40 ft wide or bigger Lord knows how. Ridiculous
I believe the area marked is where the gondola came down.
Hindenburg was 135' Wide. The area of the memorial was the size of the Control Car.
The Hindenburg was 803' long; a bit much for a memorial, I'd say.
Shameful memorial. For decades it was just a small plaque on the ground in the middle of a field with a pole. Now they added a painted chain and some pavers?
In the future there will be an other hindenburg
are you talking about the concorde crash
i think he's talkin about the new airship that just got built
Not profitably.
The site is not like the titanic rottening in the sea
Someone please enlighten me I'm not trying to be offensive or anything but why was it over new jersey and new York why was a nazi air craft over the United States and why is it such a big deal if it was nazis?once again I'm not trying to be offensive I'm just curious I didn't get taught this in school and would like to know why was it in the U.S. in the first place.
The Nazis applied the swastika to the Hindenburg for propaganda purposes. Hugo Eckener the general manager of the Zeppelin company, an anti Nazi, protested the use of the airship for that such purpose and was basically blacklisted by that regime and eventually sidelined. In regrades to the airship flying over New York it was flying a regular transatlantic route with paying passengers from Germany to New York. Of course the war in Europe was still over two years away and the markings on the tail were the official flag of Nazi Germany and the German Reich. Of course at that time it wasn't seen as the evil symbol that we associate it with today.
@@timorvet1 thank you for telling me ,the education system where im from isn't the grestest in the world
@@lukeprecht3766 No worries Luke, oh do you mind if I ask where you hail from?
We weren't taught a WHOLE LOT of things in school.
@@timorvet1 Louisiana
