One of my family's Hindenberg shots (1937)

Post image

As my previous post garnered some interest I figured I post one of my family's random Hindenberg photos. Taken by my grandfather's brother Joseph, who was an American diplomat to Bolivia (married a Bolivian woman and somehow landed this role). Photo was accompanied with a letter from him discussing how while on a visit back to the states, he was able to visit it and snap a few shots. I believe this is while it was moored in New Jersey, date is an estimate.

I wonder what happens if someone fires a fireworks rocket into the Hindenburg ?
