The Hindenburg was filled with flammable hydrogen but recent research suggests that hydrogen was not the primary matrial involved in its tragic demise

Describe the experiments carried out by Addison Bain. Then, explain how his results and other evidence led to the conclusion that the skin of the Hindenburg was the major cause of fire that destroyed the airship.


Bain thought that the hydrogen in The Hindenburg was not the main factor in the initiation of the catastrophe. He found out that parts of the skin was still on fire even after it was seperated from the region of densest hydrogen.
