The Hindenburg Disaster - Accident or Sabotage?

  • Beach Haven Public Library 219 North Beach Avenue Beach Haven, NJ, 08008 United States (map)

The Hindenburg was the largest flying object ever constructed by man. It
was a modern marvel of luxury and technology, a literal ocean liner in
the sky. However on May 6th, 1937 at Naval Air Station Lakewood, the
Hindenburg was engulfed and destroyed in a terrible fire.

Two separate investigations, one by the U.S. and one by Nazi Germany,
failed to concretely determine its cause. Like any good mystery,
conspiracy theories abound. Was it sabotage? Was it pilot error? Was it
lightning? Was it a coverup?

Join us at the Beach Haven Library for a deep dive into the history,
construction and destruction of one of the most famous aviation
accidents in history.
