Notes
This is the story of the LZ129 Hindenberg the world’s biggest airship built in 1936 by the Zeppelin company in Germany. Top tips from experts - this is a job for non-smokers - the huge airship is full of highly flammable gas. Beware of storms and lightning - storm clouds contain electricity and electricity makes sparks. Wrap up warm - airship travel is very comfortable for passengers, but not for you. If the worst happens, don’t panic. Those who keep calm are most likely to survive.Contents
