German's what? Which German?

Re: Germans Can't Be Trusted With Lighter Than Air Ships
Very sad that this has happened. I wonder what the cause for this was. It seems to me a fuel line ruptured and fuel was ignited, but what caused that fuel to spill in the first place?

Also, respect for the pilot, he knew full well that the airship would lift once the passengers jumped off.

Tragic.
Incidental, the last pilot of the Hindenburg was the uncle (or was it great uncle ) of a good friend of mine. One degree of separation.

Re: Germans Can't Be Trusted With Lighter Than Air Ships
I quite like airships. There is a hanger for an airship quite close to where I live and I go over and take a look at it from time to time. As far as I know there aren't that many accidents with them, certainly not a stragic as this at least.
