Which airship was known for its tragic accident in the 1930s?

The Hindenburg is widely recognized for its tragic accident, which occurred on May 6, 1937, in Lakehurst, New Jersey. This German passenger airship, formally known as LZ 129 Hindenburg, was the largest airship ever built and symbolized the peak of airship travel. The Hindenburg disaster resulted from a catastrophic failure when the highly flammable hydrogen gas used for buoyancy ignited during landing, leading to the destruction of the airship and the loss of 36 lives. The event was famously captured in photographs and newsreels, marking it as a pivotal moment in aviation history that ultimately contributed to the decline of the airship industry, as it raised serious concerns about safety and the use of hydrogen in air travel.
