On #ThisDayInHistory in 1937, the Hindenburg, the largest airship ever built, bursts into flames.

While attempting to moor, the airship suddenly exploded (a not improbable outcome as the ship was lifted by highly flammable hydrogen gas).

The ship rapidly fell 200 feet and the hull of the airship incinerated within seconds. Thirteen passengers, 21 crewmen, and 1 civilian lost their lives, and most of the survivors suffered substantial injuries.
