What’s the worst that could happen?

And yet it flew for tens of thousands of miles without the smoking room or kitchen being an issue.

Amazingly 62 of the 97 people on board survived.

Think of the amount of belief you had in your engineering team that you allow smoking inside of a giant balloon of hydrogen

what could go wrong?

There was electricity onboard as well. None of those things were responsible for the disaster

The hull wasn't completely filled with hydrogen. It was in bags in the hull.

Are you so contrarian that you are arguing for the safety of the Hindenburg :lol.

Bruh, smoking in a gondola that's dangling from the hull is a lot different than "smoking inside a hydrogen balloon"

I believe the gondola on the Hindenburg was very small. The passengers and most of the crew travelled in compartments within the balloon.

Hindenburg designer Hugo Eckener sought to use helium, a less flammable lifting gas. However, the United States, which had a monopoly on the world supply of helium and feared that other countries might use the gas for military purposes, banned its export, and the Hindenburg was reengineered. After the Hindenburg disaster, American public opinion favored the export of helium to Germany for its next great zeppelin, the LZ 130, and the law was amended to allow helium export for nonmilitary use.
Why the Hindenburg used Hydrogen instead of Helium

That had nothing to do with it going down. What's the problem again?

Aluminum Oxide paint didn't help much either.

I would not be that trusting of the engineers. I know too many engineers.
