New Delhi: Scientists believe they have explained what caused the Hindenburg to explode back in May 1937.
On May 6th, 1937, a mighty 800 foot long blimp called the Hindenburg caught fire and crashed killing 36 people in this famous flaming tragedy.
With nearly 100 on board, the 245m airship was preparing to land at Lakehurst, New Jersey, when the age of airship travel ended.
In front of horrified onlookers, the Hindenburg exploded and plunged to the ground in flames. Thirty-five of those on board died.
