  • What you have here are two of the four known newsreel cameras there that fateful night. The Universal is the one that swings up as the ship explodes and mainly focuses on the zeppelin itself, the Paramount is all the up close and personal footage. Just FYI the other two are Movietone and Pathe, Pathe starts the latest and is very shaky, Movietone is one of the better pieces of footage as it is steady all the way through.

  • Zionist masturbate on this kinda stuff... [-__-]

  • The announcer was wearing a wool sweater which gave off fumes or something to that effect thus him having trouble speaking at some points. He still gave the most emotional play by play I've ever heard.

  • obey timmy's dad

    destroy hindenburg

  • i want to lissen to led zeppelin,

    i'm the only one? xd

  • @FCTwente75 Hindenburg disaster was serious. A lot of people died. Then you are talking about the fricking music band.

  • I have an original R38 ashtray which was made from the wreckage of the r38 airship girders which broke in half over the humber estuary.Its on ebay if anyone is interested.

  • KIROV REPORTING

  • NO TICKET

  • That must have been so incredibly sad to witness live. When the announcer says . I'm sorry mam I have heard it's because a woman fainted into his arms at the sheer shock of this.

  • Ur fucking stupid the Hindenburg was real u stupid bitch

  • @williamhowington y r u even answering him lol

  • @williamhowington come on now, are you really too stupid to recognize sarcasm when you see it? and to let it get you so upset... you must be a moron

  • Wake up dudes... this is You Tube... The footage is fake. The Hindenburg never happened. It was all a hoax.

  • @7SecretsDemoChannel Are you stupid?

  • @Articwolf527 i think, obviously, you are stupid

  • @7SecretsDemoChannel trololololo

  • @7SecretsDemoChannel Maybe you should go back to school and study History.

  • @7SecretsDemoChannel True. Everything was made up.

    Including you.

  • thumbs up if conan sent you here.

  • Totally gay.

  • Totally gay...

  • I get so sick and tired of some of the arguments here as to whether or not the hindenburg was a nazi ship. the graf was not a nazi ship either. as a fact, the airship was civilian from it's roots and was used by the powers that be, and in fact was the first long range aerial bomber in ww1. the luisitania was luxury civilian liner carrying armaments to the front employed by powers that be so, please lay off the nazi shit and blame the filthy warmongers.

  • The airship was actually pretty shape. The people that died were either burned by the petrol used for the propellers or tried to jump out of the airship :|

  • Dude... The Zeppelin LZ 129 Hindenburg was named after German President Paul von Hindenburg. Hindenburg wasn't a Nazi. Hindenburg hated the Nazis. He hated Hitler. He was the Chancellor of Germany before Hitler took over in 1936. So those who keep saying that the Hindenburg was a Nazi airship doesn't know what the hell they were talking about and should shut up because this is just like saying Hitler is Jesus Christ when in reality he was a monster. so please relieve us of ur ignorance ppl.

  • @Zero8764 Hitler was Jesus Christ

  • @Zero8764 Hitler was in fact Jesus Christ

  • @Zero8764 Hitler became chancellor in 33 and became fuhrer which is a combined president and chancellor in 1934 when hindenburg died. please get your history right before you abuse everyone.

  • @Zero8764 you are right

  • @Zero8764 Well you cant see it because its burnt to shit but this Hindenburg had 4 giant NAZI swastika flags on the back of it. And where you're wrong again is although more people have killed in the name of Jesus than Hitler/Nazism. Hitler actually existed, Jesus on the other hand, no evidence exists of this so called entity.

  • @Furtraderrim Those swastikas resembled peace back then. It wasn't til Hitler got into power when they where feared amongst people.

  • @PunkdYourHabbo Those swastikas may have represented* (not resembled) peace back then (in the far east) in Buddhist temples but not in Germany during this time or any time after Hitler joined the national socialist in 1919. And since Hitler was the designer of the style of Swastika seen on the Hindenburg there's not too many people that associated swastika with peace.

  • Herbert Morrison was at Lakehurst , recording a story to be taken to Pittsburgh for broadcast on the first radio station KDKA .He was from the town of Scottdale Pa . Some of his decendants still live in the area. Later in life he devolped the D 104 MIC that was popular with C.B. 's and then sold the patent to the company that made it.

  • This is a piece of history

  • thumbs up  if Mythbusters brought you here

  • 1:21 he said, "its a Terrific sight!"

  • @Degenerate94

    Terrific use to be an adjective to describe a type of event dealing with it scale being a "terrific" scale. But as time has passed it has moved to only pertaining to something positive."

    In all actuality the word better splits into the two words..Terrifying Effect. Terrific.

  • May god have mercy on the souls who were lost.

  • Why would anyone care that a NAZI airship crashed? Everyone should be celebrating, and the comment thread should be full of satirical remarks about those racist fucktards. Fuck 'em all, I say.

  • @daTruChosen This was before WW2. So this was before Nazi's were considered the enemy. Asshole.

  • @daTruChosen The hidenburg wasn't a nazi airship. The creator of the Hindenburg was strongly against the nazis but the nazis saw the airship as a symbol of power and strength. They then threatened him with his life and the threat to burn the airship if he didn't add the nazi insignia on the tailfins.

  • @daTruChosen Get a load of this guy, haha... We better as we evolve, these people were not SS, you might aswell have the same mindset about 9/11... or any other terrorist or accident that might happen. I almost got pissed off, by your comment, but hey no sense dabbling in the past,

    I'm not riding on you, simply stating a fact :D

  • @daTruChosen Airships don't have political allegiance. 

  • Im kind of a youtube troll, but some of these things ive read here are just awful.

  • Very bad quality footage and unprofessional reporting. I hope some people lost their jobs over this. I guess this is the kind of thing we can expect in the post 9-11 world.

  • @smegmadiver22 Obvious troll is obvious.

  • @smegmadiver22 This footage is from 1937 when the technology was nothing compared to what it is today you fucking idiot.

  • @missmelissa116 Hmmm, if you have a disagreement with my opinion, why not express yourself with a little maturity rather than resorting to the use of curse words? This is, youtube, after all, not some kind of school-house playground.

  • @smegmadiver22 Obviously you're not on YouTube much often if you expect the people here to talk nicely with respect.

  • @smegmadiver22 Footage and reporting from 1937; comment about the post 9-11 world?? That doesn't even make sense.

  • Now Clean It Up!

  • weird how news reporters didnt react that way on 9/11.

  • theoldrepublic.gif

  • it was struck by lighting. you could hear morrison say shortly before the thing crashed that it had been raining earlier and had just started again.

  • @anewell41 very well said

  • @TheBadgersrock @annie10103 But it's true, it was just another way for the Nazis to show off to the world, just like the 1936 Olympics and the Nuremberg rallies. They were even going to name it 'Adolf Hitler'.

    @somany5 Please tell me you have heard of Led Zeppelin?

  • Oh no! A giant, floating Nazi propaganda poster caught on fire and crashed, how terrible...

  • @GUnitSeanAKAmong Bitch you deserve no life

  • @GUnitSeanAKAmong

    Good god you're an asshole

  • @GUnitSeanAKAmong Oh no! Civilians and Jewish people escaping Nazi Germany burned to death! Thats...pretty terrible, actually, you asshole.

  • @pyramidheadkitten9 Still Nazi propaganda.

  • OH THE HUGEMANATEE

  • Led Zeppelin I - 1969

  • @streetcarjay wtf does that mean

  • @somany5 Have you ever seen the album cover of Led Zeppelin I? The HIndenburg disaster is on the cover. Look it up on the net.

  • @somany5 Idiot

  • i wish all news announcers were like this who can actually change the pitch of their voice. it makes the news more bearable

  • Every person making a joke in the comments needs to shut up.

  • @buster9877 BBQ TIME!

  • Is @anewell41 Alex newell from the glee project?

  • wow bengtpappa anewll41 makingnamesisfun and miikmb all just had the dumbest, weirdest youtube battle ever. It's a video about an airship but you guys start talking about pearl harbor and the a-bomb. Idiots.

  • i feel terrible for saying this knowing all that died but that i only can here to hear OH THE HUMANITY

  • Sounds like a leprichan

  • @BENGTPAPPA Shut the fuck up man.

  • @anewell41

    The americans fucking bombed Japan with an a-bomb. But when this happens, its a disaster etc. Sure. Americans are not civilisade, people get fucking excuted

  • @BENGTPAPPA What the hell? Do you even know what your talking about? This was not an American disaster. Its was Germany's blimp. Civilsade? I guess you meant civilized. Yes people do get executed. For dumb shit that they do. Its not like other countries where we fucking chop their hands off for stealing. Your a dumb fucker

  • @anewell41

    Chop hands off for stealing?? haha, dont comapre yourself with the middle east. They are really fucked up. haha, you have goon low to compare the middleeast to america, but I understand you do

  • @BENGTPAPPA Yeah, middle-eastern countries don't deserve such disrespect.

  • @BENGTPAPPA Hey fuck tard we bombed Japan because they bombed Pearl Harbor. They bombed us first, try opening up a history book you fucking idiot. You sound real "civilisade" yourself there pal... While your at it with the history book open a dictionary so you don't look so fucking stupid. Come on.. "goon" you can't even spell gone correctly..

  • @makingnamesisfun

    I am not even american, judge the content of my comments and not the spelling.

  • @makingnamesisfun It's "you're" - not "your". Don't throw rocks if you live in a glass house.

  • @MiiKMB Good job...Nit pick every little grammatical error. Atleast everything is spelled correctly and i'm not bashing another country not knowing what i'm talking about.

  • @makingnamesisfun Japan attacked us because we stopped trading with them, and then they ran out of supplies, so they attcked the closest American settlement (which we stole, by the way) in retalliation. The thing is, our government had prior knowledge that they were going to attack, but we decided to let them so that we could say they did it first, it worked, revenge was all the American public wanted. Officially, by bombing them we ended the war, unofficially, we showed the USSR our new power.

  • @MrAVEREX an intelligent youtube comment? congratulations sir. what is the world coming to?

  • @BENGTPAPPA heh, you wouldn't be laughing if you were on the Hindenburg when this this happened retard.

  • A dead wringer for Janet Napolitano's Strap-On. I capitalize out of respect for Office of Homeland Security. Mustang-killing Nappy-Head has 20/20 hindsight; check out the Second Site of Roswell 1947.Those ETs with horse eyes resurrected from the dead and they control everything that happens on The Third Rock From the Sun, from Freddy Fender Benders to Bush's Twin Daughters' Twin Tower Attacks. Connect the dot-ers, Napper Strapper On. Bush's doters have Twin Towers written all over them; DUI-ers.

  • Thumbs up if Owengatto has top comment.

  • Is the blimp okay?

  • Man u gotta think about back then disaters didnt happen everyday like today so when this happened it was fucking mind destorying heartbreaking to actually see that people werent used to it

  • @Lvl60Slayer I suppose, but being a modern guy I recognise that the suffering from the once in years event of an airliner going down with hundreds of people on board, that i can't do anything about pales in comparison to the suffering in africa, south america, the middle east and much of asia, that i can do something about, but choose not to. If I saw this shit, It wouldn't really ruin my day all that much, just cos i'm close in proximity to it.

  • @fcmsinger well study of the recordings showed morrison's recorder was a little slow, so when you they played it back it was faster and higher. his real voice is a little bit deeper. there's other videos on youtube where you can hear the recording at normal speed.
