These Are The Few Photos That Literally Changed The World

New Jersey, US (1937)

Many decades ago, a large crowd was waiting for the LZ 129 Hindenburg passenger airship to slowly fly above New Jersey. As the German ship was approaching, electrostatic discharge made the hydrogen inside it catch fire instantly and the entire ship exploded. Over 30 people on board died by burning and this is one of the few recordings of the moment.
