Hindenburg Explodes (1937)

Jan 23, 2012 - The skin was treated with powdered aluminium to reflect sunlight and prevent overheating of the gas. (Today, powdered aluminium is used as solid rocket fuel—the shuttle's two outboard boosters). The manufacturers had conducted tests in the 30's and knew of the skin's combustibility and the fact that it was also electrically conductive. A static electric discharge between adjacent panels of Hindenburg's skin (after the electical storm) ignited the skin, which ignited the gas.

Feb 28, 2012 - NON-conspiracy 130 minute real-time WTC Attack video chronicle. Upload is on my channel. Something NEW from that day. 130 minutes of never before seen - continuous running account. (most complete known to exist) authentic; pristine; uncensored. It is 9/11 as it was that day for most everyone outside of Ground Zero. Please take the time to listen/watch the over two hour authentic rarity. It will be one of the most prevalently known reference points for that day going forward. **********

Apr 5, 2012 - Ok, I say we make another one, except we use mylar and plastics instead of rubberized cotton that weighs a ton, and we put cheap hydrogen in the middle of a larger helium cell so it's protected from fire.

Apr 21, 2012 - Aluminum is still used as a UV barrier on fabric aircraft. Always has been.  It was the composition of the dope used that made it so flamable. Not just the aluminum. Aluminum by itself doesn't ignite well.
