On May 6, 1937, the German air ship LZ129 Hindenburg was approaching the mooring station at Lakehurst Naval Air Station in Lakehurst, New Jersey when it all of a sudden burst into flames. The ship was destroyed within one minute, killing 35 of the 97 on board and 1 person on the ground. The actual cause of the accident remains unknown.

I occasionally post airship images that I think are especially striking to my blog:
