"The “Hindenburg” Disaster" Murray Becker, 1937

The “Hindenburg” Disaster which took place in 1937 it’s not the “Titanic” crash and not the Chernobyl accident of the XX century.
It’s unbelievable but from 97 people, 62 survived. During landing in Lakehurst airport, New Jersey, after the flight from Germany, German airship Hindenburg had blown up. The airship’s cover was filled with hydrogen, but not with safe helium, because Americans had already refused to sell this gas to the potential enemy: new world war was impending.
The event was shot by 22 photographers. After the accident, airships no longer considered to be safe and developed kind of transport. This picture fixed the end of the airship building.

I have read a lot about this disaster, and even though people says it was an accident, I continue thinking somebody cause the fact. There are so many thinks which are not clear, but persons prefer to ignore them all and to say it was just an accident.
