Today is the 75th anniversary of the Hindenburg disaster

Luftschiff Zeppelin No. 129 was the official company name for the Hindenburg, something forgotten by many over time no doubt. But of course everyone knows the flaming image when the word Hindenburg is used. It is a powerful name sometimes even used to describe similar catastrophes.

The Star-Ledger's Mike Frassinelli has a fantastic look back at a very awful day. A chilling accounts from some of the few live witnesses to that day in Lakehurst. A great read over morning coffee.
