Take to the Sky Episode 038: The Hindenburg

On May 6, 1937, crowds formed near Naval Air Station Lakehurst in New Jersey to welcome the first Zeppelin transatlantic flight of the year. History knows what happened next: just moments before landing, the Hindenburg burst into flames as onlookers watched in horror. This is one of the most well-documented disasters in aviation, and in this week's episode of Take to the Sky: The Air Disaster Podcast, Stephanie takes us into the reasons why the airship exploded and how it changed flight safety for all of us.
