    Oh you must be European, if you're concerned about fires aboard airships. American airships don't burn; we've never been stupid enough to use hydrogen as a lifting gas. USS Akron and USS Macon both crashed, much of the crew of one froze to death and the other proved surprisingly survivable. Compare that to the Hindenberg or R-101.

    I have spent the last year trying to find copies online of a musical some friends wrote while I was in college. It's called Hindenburg: Oh the Humanity!
