when this movie was released in selected theaters the studio shot footage was in color when it came out on video 10 years after the release the whole scene was put in black and white due to continuity reasons.

Now why did they do that? I know that the footage of the Hindenburg was in black and white but there was footage of the Hindenburg in color too.

where were the cabins located? inside the helium?

[GuyverFan95]

Not exactly, it's located underneath the gas bags. They didn't use helium but hydrogen.

why is the hindenburg freezing when it falls?

[GuyverFan95]

Because we're seeing what is happening inside the airship as it happens.

1:36 I had a chick once make that face when she saw my penis :O

great SFX for a 1975 film.

This scene always terrified me as a child. I watched this film with my dad a half dozen times but didn't watch then end all the way through until I was a teenager.

If only the United States gave Germany helium then this disaster could have been avoided. But the U.S. didn't give them helium because they were afraid Germany would use the Hindenburg for war purposes, I don't blame them. This was a tragedy, of the 97 people aboard, only 62 survived while 37 perished. What once was a considered future transportation, was considered a thing of the past in a blink of an eye.

37 people died in this disaster, it was a terrible tragedy.

One notable inaccuracy is that of the five family members (the parents, daughter and two sons). In reality, this was the Doehner family, German transplants living in Mexico City. In the movie, only the father dies, but in actuality, the daughter died as well. (In the movie, she survives). Three women perished aboard the Hindenburg: 16 year old Irene Doehner, 60 year old Emma Pannes of Long Island, New York (with her husband) and the only female crew member, Emilie Imhoff.

LOL notice at 0:10, the cameraman beside Herbert Morrison is getting his camera to work... Exactly the same problem the cameramen had during the disaster. None of the newsreel cameramen filmed the fire actually igniting.

@GuyverFan95 where did you see that? whatever colour footage of the Hindenburg is "fake" There's one that was hand-colourized in the 1960s for a documentary, as well as some (very bad) colourization for the Vidicom documentary of the disaster. There's only a few colour photos of the Hindenburg, and much more of the LZ 130 Graf Zeppelin II (and colour footage for that airship as well, mistaken for Hindenburg).

1.There was no helium inside the hindenburg

2.Helium do not chatch fire

3.Yes, the cabins where located inside the ship and not on the outside as the cockpit.

Thanks for a good vid! x p

Yes. Also, the entire stern of the ship was in flames BEFORE it exploded. It burned for about ten seconds before the fireball. There was no spontaneous explosion as shown here.
