Oh the Humanity ! Zeppelin Burns and Crashes in Eerie Flashback

Those large lumbering airships called dirigibles or Zeppelins have been making a comeback as a tourist attraction, but all that suffered a recent setback with the fiery crash of a blimp in Germany. The pilot was able to get close enough to the ground to allow passengers to jump to safety, but the pilot was later killed trying to land the craft.
Lighter than air craft used for passenger travel suffered their greatest setback in the 1937 crash of the Hindenburg.
