it was full of hydrogen....they put hydrogen in them because it was cheaper and it was lighter than helium. but the hindenburg is why we dont use hydrogen in them anymore. Actually, in the case of the Hindenburg, the Germans had to resort to using hydrogen because the U.S. at the time was the major marketeer of helium in the world. And they refused to sell it to the Germans.

ZBoxDemon probably didn't notice it , but he supports your position. He says that the US was the only "major" helium supplier, and that's the truth. Since the most abundant source of helium was cut off to the Germans, they would've had to pay much higher to get it from another source. That was too much for them, so they just used boom-gas. We now have a fairly exciting clip of a flaming zeppelin crashing into the ground, that's for some reason plastered all over the fushing place.

If you detonated it, you could blow hubcaps off cars some distance away and all that ;D.

I personally love hydrogen. Unlike what most people say, it wont make a huge ass boom if you fill a balloon completely with nothing but hydrogen, you just get a fireball and a "WHOOMP!". Now if you use it to power your spud cannon, you get one god awful bang thats sure to piss off any neighbors. Hydrogen is truely great stuff. It supports bruning and is flammable. Not many gases like that out there. Especially not gasses that are so cheap and easily synthesized.

What Torcher said. You got conversationally rocked, man . The Hindenburg was one of the few incidents that the world has actually learned from. And, yes, this may be k3\/\/|, but it's still information, and it works. Rorta.tk is about the free exchange of accurate information. And totse.com was about the free exchange of accurate information .
