>>1618063Everyone talks about the Hindenburg, but let's not kid ourselves and think that it was just the Hindenburg. The fact is that many airships of the time, especially the larger ones were inherently flawed designs and suffered multiple catastrophic accidents repeatedly while they were popular. Materials, strength, how the craft dealt with pressure, wind and more were all poorly understood. Sure, they could have been built and flown safer but the tech and knowledge just weren't there to ensure it.
