    At 00:58 a group of five or so that survived the initial explosion and impact can be seen running towards the nose only to have the flaming wreckage crash down on them. One of them just stops about a half a second beforehand, seemingly accepting of his or her fate.

      Back in my day, we complained about those damned locomotives! It was back in 1830 when they first opened the first inter city passenger railway between Liverpool and Manchester! Oh, we protested against it for days we did! We insisted people would still use a cart and wagon and I still stand by it!
      Now, my story begins in 1830, I woke up at 8:dickety-two! We had to say "dickety" because the Kaiser had stolen our word for twenty! Oh, I chased that rascal to get it back but I gave up after dickety-six miles! Anyway, back to the story. The breakfeast I ate was bacon and egg I got from a farm nearby! Oh, that was a good farm, I remember when I was a child, I used to sneak in the barn and scare the cows. Now, where was I? Oh right, after my breakfeast I took my horse and wagon to the locomotives which was kind of ironic since I was heading to Liverpool to protest them, or did I just take my horse and wagon straight to Liverpool? I believe it was the latter, anyway. Before I headed out I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time! After 1 hour and dickety minutes I finally reached Liverpool, only to realize I forgot my sign I had to use to protest the locomotives! So I headed back home, grabbed the sign and headed back to Liverpool! After that I tied myself to a lamp post nearby the locomotive station!
      People first thought I was crazy and I came this close to being send to a mental institute! But I finally convinced them to protest the locomotives, now the law enforcment sprayed water at us, but none of us gave up! I remember how the water hoose was invented, it back back in WW1. No wait, that hasn't happened yet, now where was I? Right, the most important part was that I had an onion tied to my belt! Which was the style at the time, we didn't have yellow onions because of the war! But the mayor himself came up to us and offered us a free trip on the locomotive all we had to do was stop protesting! Some cowards accepted the offer, but me and some other people kept protesting for days! People kept using the locomotive although I made some very good points about still using the horse and wagon! Those damn nobels in their fancy hats! All I had was a cap I had since I was a child, did I ever tell you the story about that cap?
      If was back in 1813, I had just turned 13 and my dad gave it to me as a birthday gift! Now, where was I? Oh right, I eventually gave up on protesting after I realized a war had begun! Now, this was in 1914, the Duke of Austria-Hungary had been assassinated a month back, now, the way I found out that the old chap had been assassinated was from a newspaper boy which was stationed next to me! I offered him a penny for the newspaper, but the boy refused! He said that newspaper prices had increased since 1830! I said poppycocks and tied myself loose to join the war! But the thing is, America didn't join the war untill later. But I still came into the army! I was stationed in Northen France. One day the Germans attacked and nearly captured our trench! Oh, but we fought them off for hours we did! At this point I no longer had an onion tied to my belt!
      After the Germans nearly captured our trench I was stationed in Cario! I even saw Lawrence himself, I did! Anyway, I stayed there to the the war in 1918. After that, we all thought there wasn't going to be another war, oh how foolish we was. Not even 30 years after that another war broke out when some chap named Adolf Hiter invaded Poland! Now, the Japanese had fought the Chinese a year or so before that, but no one considered that a war! Anyway, I joined the army in 1940 and I was stationed in Tobruk! One day Rommel and his forces attacked us and we had to fend them off for months! We even started our own newspaper! After Rommel finally gave up, I was stationed in London where we were heading out towards France for a bombing run! When we came back, we had appearently invaded France! And appearently Rommel tried to assassinate Hitler, and we tought Rommel was a bad guy! Anyway, back to the story which I forgot what the point of if it is.
      After that we invaded Sicily and we even got some help from the Mafia back in America! After that, we defeated Mussolini, and freed Italy and Europe, after that we invaded Germany itself and eventually made it to Berlin, appearently the communist bastards were there already! By the time I got there, they had already captured the Reichstag and Hitler had appearenly commited suicide in his bunker, along with his wife Eva and some a few Nazi generals! Oh, we celebrated for days, even weeks before we realized Japan hasn't surrendered yet, we dropped some new kind of bomb on them, two of them actually. They surrendered after a few days and the war was officaly over! Germany was divided into four parts, the Soviets got the Eastern part, America, Britain and France got the Western part. And I was shipped back home, 1 hour and dickety minutes from Liverpool.
      And that was my story, that was of course the shorter version of it. If you want the long version, then ask Winton Churchill, he was my friend way back when I was protesting against the locomotives!

      Life is Good
      False. Hydrogen at concentrations over 75% is fully inert; speculation exists (and ongoing experiments have proved) that the cause of the fire
      was not a hydrogen leak but rather an explosive reaction between the chemicals used in the paint on the ship's skin and static buildup. Hydrogen rather fueled the fire. With today's technology it could be done safely, but misconception leading to a tainted public image has killed off hydrogen airships.

  • @plusplusplusplusp
    @plusplusplusplusp 7 років тому +65

    Interesting that this appears to be the only audio of this famous event apart from Herb Morrison's recording. In this video you can hear: "Oh my God!" then "Al, just shoot it, shoot it!" then something garbled, then "Come on, hurry up! Come on, back up! Get the shot!" then "You're all right now Al!" I guess Al Gold started to climb down from the top of the van, instinctively retreating from the intense heat and noise. Then Addison Trice is urging him to keep filming. I think that roar you can hear in the meantime is genuine, because it sounds like multiple explosions and roars, as eyewitnesses recounted.

    • @FrankyboyLegend
      @FrankyboyLegend 7 років тому +1

      The initial blast sounds simulated but yes the rest of the sounds are probably real. The Paramount one sounds convincing and even has a cracking sound when the side of the airship bends inward, but listen carefully and you can hear what sounds like windchimes. The Pathe one was simulated as there were mostly Navy men where the cameramen were filming, not screaming women. The only thing that might be real is when someone yells "shoot! shoot!" but I'm not sure if William Deeke was accompanied by a cameraman. I read somewhere that Hearst Newsreel had a sound engineer as well, but in their newsreel dubbed a lot of dramatic music over it so I'm not sure if the actual sound is being used. Universal Newsreel used Hearst's footage but made their own dub, again with dubbed music and a canned screaming audience.

    The explosion was caused by friction with the ground that ran up the wires and caused a spark inside the blimp.
    In this video the speaker says that the gas was not flammable but this is false. To save on costs they used hydrogen instead of helium which is incredibly flammable.
    Additionally, the Hindenburg actually made many trips around the entire world, it even went through NYC with the mayor and a few other important figures around at the time.
    Finally, the blimp was named after the ruler of Germany at the time (the blimp is German if you didn't know) just before Hitler took over. He was especially weary of Hitler and did not approve of his noticeable but slow taking over of the german people. He was eventually kicked out.

    • @AverageDoctor345
      @AverageDoctor345 4 роки тому +4

      Also, if you notice, it actually burns fairly slowly instead of just popping like a balloon. This is because it was built with several chambers inside that stored the air. When the blimp lost air, only one of the chambers would be lost and not the entire blimp. And if they lost a lot of air, they had barrels of water underneath it that they could drain to lift some of the weight.

    • @AverageDoctor345

      Another thing, many people in the comments are questioning how so many people survived this and that is because:
      1 the explosion started at the back
      2 the passengers are in a completely different part of the blimp, in a space underneath the blimp you can see it at 0:28

      @@AverageDoctor345 No, the press were especially aware of the ship's flammability. Truman Talley, the producer at Movietone News, insisted cameramen be always present on the Hindenburg's landings because he had the uncanny feeling it would be destroyed someday, much to the disgruntlement of cameramen like Al Gold. Other newsreels like the American dub of this one also say "highly inflammable hydrogen". It's just that this narrator does not say "*highly* inflammable which makes it sound less dangerous, but he still says "carefully manouevered towards her hangar". The Germans were less worried because they had more extensive experience with airships overall.

    The number who survived was made possible by the fact their cabin was pretty far from the worst of the blaze. What I don't understand is why, after 20 routine flights, there was so much uncertainty and confusion. Having to dump water ballast several times and not being able to navigate to the mooring tower seems like this was a totally preventable tragedy.

      what?..... They hardly expected the rear to drop like it did and I don't they ever imagined in a million years it would continue to drop after dumping all of that water out and releasing all of that hydrogen from the front....
      Not to mention you act like 20 routine flights is significant at all.... Its not....

    • @plasticballs

      they had to dump ballast several times because the rear kept dropping and they were circling the mooring tower to get a better landing angle

      They were dumping water because the Hindenburg was tilting to the stern because of the hydrogen leak that ultimately started the fire.

      Life is Good 360, my mistype. Still, 360p isn't even standard definition TV. These original films were shot on 35mm and even as old as they are would look far better in 1080p. I'm assuming they're scanned at least at 1080p if not 4K for archiving, so presenting them here dumbed down to below-standard def is a waste.

    • @FrankyboyLegend
      @FrankyboyLegend 7 років тому

      I think Movietone/AP just wants to keep them at low resolution so that people buy them, like how Getty Images and Corbis have been doing for still photos. Some airship photo collectors have received cease-or-desist letters from stock photo agencies not to post airship photos, even those from private collections.
      Even Pathe has uploaded their Hindenburg newsreel in 720p (it might have been upscaled from standard definition but still much better quality than Movietone's). There's also a 35mm transfer seen here (unfortunately still has a watermark): 1933 Hindenburg Airship Crash, HD from 35mm
      And here's Hearst Newsreel from Framepool (now they put an even larger watermark on their site): Disastro Hindenburg a Lakehurst in archivio e storico
      There's some compression (maybe due to UA-cam) so it's hard to tell whether it was really transferred to HD. I remember someone uploaded a 1080p version (still has watermark and frameskip) years before but it was deleted.
      I've seen some photos that appear to be high-quality prints from the newreel footage - one shows the airship dropping ballast (from Paramount Newsreel) and another from the Universal/Hearst Newsreel with the sailor in the foreground backing away. There's some cuts from all four Hindenburg disaster newsreels in the 1975 movie which was more recently transferred to HD. Not very sharp and a bit lacking in contrast but you can see more details as most of it has been cropped up close.

      it's because the company that built the Hindenburg used hydrogen instead of helium as the lifting gas, hydrogen is a very dangerous gas because it is highly flammable, hence why the fire destroyed the Hindenburg so quickly. Before the Hindenburg was built, other rigid airships were built using helium as the main or only source of lifting gas, unlike hydrogen, helium is not flammable, so it is a much safer gas to use. But helium was also more expensive so the Hindenburg builders cut corners and used the much more dangerous hydrogen instead which was cheaper to produce. Once again another example of greedy companies putting profits before people's safety.
