LB Public Library presents the 1937 Hindenburg Disaster

The airship Hindenburg, the largest dirigible (zeppelin) ever built and the pride of Nazi Germany, bursts into flames upon touching its mooring mast in Lakehurst, New Jersey, killing 36 passengers and crew-members, on May 6, 1937.

Carl Jablonski, president of the Navy Lakehurst Historical Society, will speak about the Hindenburg disaster, which occurred 85 years ago this month.
After more than 30 years of passenger travel on commercial zeppelins — in which tens of thousands of passengers flew over a million miles, on more than 2,000 flights, without a single injury — the era of the passenger airship came to an end in a few fiery minutes.
