Thumbs up if you couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed when it changed to black and white during the crash scene

Why didn't he just use the knife to cut a hole in the lining so he could toss the bomb outside??

@151L107 it was a spark cause by static electricity which back then nobody had no idea what that was

I actually quite liked it (but then again, it may only be because I'm quite interested in airship history).

The only part of the movie, I believe, actually worked. They treated this thing like pure camp, which is stupid. It's not "Poseidon" or "The Volcano." This was a real tragedy and they treat the damn thing like a summer popcorn flick.

And as for the B&W segue-way, I think it was the right artistic decision. It wouldn't just blend in with the real footage. This is the Hindenburg we all know. They're trying to convince us these people... were really there.

@plusplusplusplusp Robert Wise the director wanted to blend the actually footage of the real Hindenburg blowing up and crashing...THIS film was a box dud...bad acting...bad everything...the real burn and crash only lasted less than 20 seconds!!! this shit goes on FOREVER!!!! Bad screenplay, just a lousy flick.

Hollywood gets one major fact all wrong (as usual). The father, mother, daughter and two sons are based on the Doehner family, Germans who were living in Mexico City. In the movie, only the father dies, but in reality, the daughter died as well.
