Today on May 6, 1937, the Hindenburg Airship suddenly bursts into flames and crashes only moments later.•••••Luftschiff Zeppelin #129, better known as the Hindenburg, was one of the biggest and most famous commercial airships in the world. It was designed, manufactured and operated by the Zeppelin Company in Germany. The ship was named after the German WWI Field Marshal, Paul von Hindenburg, who later served as the President of Germany from 1925 to 1934. The Hindenburg completed 17 trips during its first year in operation (10 to the United States and 7 to Brazil).
