adding to Ahect's points:
Yes, the Hindenburg's outer covering was made of powdered aluminum, a key ingredient in rocket fuel. Furthermore, yes, it is also true that the hydrogen floated up before igniting. Here's more:
The Hindenburg's passengers were primarily killed by the disel fumes from the 6 diesel V-12 engines powering the zeppelin, not the hydrogen. And yes, it is also true that the Nazi Propganda tried to pin the explosion on the US, blaming the US for not sharing its 'safer' helium production facilities, making the German people mad at the US. In the end, hydrogen really got a bad rap, when it's still one of the best gases out there. It's also 1.5x lighter than helium, which means that hydrogen dirigibles of comparable size can lift more than their helium counterparts.
The Public Must Be Informed.
