LZ 129 Hindenburg

They're actually safer than airplanes.

And what we had was a mass media event in the form of the Hindenburg, which actually scared most of the world's population away from ever getting in an airship again.

It's starting to rain again.

The rain had cracked up a little bit.

Oh, no, can't do this.

They're dangerous.

With the footage of the flaming Hindenburg, you know, falling out of the sky.

Nope, no more airships.

What is the question here? In 1928, we had better audio.

Seriously, go back and watch the Hindenburg coming down.

Horrible, horrible event.

It was like in the 1920s or 30s or something.

outraged about Putin.

But if the Hindenburg goes down at 430, I've got to make a joke about it because I've hit my limit.

And that's how I'm going to approach these Democrats, because let's be honest right now, before any of you liberals or moderates or whatever your anti-evil designation is, Rahm Emanuel is never going to get the Democratic presidential nomination.

There is the presidential primary loser industrial complex and both parties feed at it.

Okay.

Which came first, the Titanic sinking or the Hindenburg disaster? Let's go with...

I'm going to go with Titanic.

Me too, only because I'm not sure I know what the Hindenburg

disaster is.

Let's see it.

Titanic sank 1912.

The Hindenburg 1937.

Charles had served in the Navy for more than a decade and had spent thousands of hours aboard airships.

He had even survived the 1935 crash of the USS Macon off the coast of California and was one of the fearless men who rushed to rescue passengers after the infamous Hindenburg disaster.

By the time he stepped aboard the L8, he had logged about 2,281 hours in lighter-than-air ships.

Just one day earlier, on August 15th, he had received his commission as an ensign, so the August 16th patrol would be his first flight in that role.

It is such a bad accent that the New Jersey accent sounds like a romance language by comparison.

But even this I could forgive if the show were competently made or at least watchable or at least not the most unpleasant thing anyone has ever put on film to include the Hindenburg crash and the JFK assassination.

Now, Josh Hartnett, I don't remember any of the characters' names and it doesn't matter, lives in the village with his annoying deadbeat son, played by an actor apparently named Charlie Heaton.

And with all due respect to Charlie Heaton, and I don't know whether this just is because of the makeup they use for the show or whether he has some kind of genetic condition, but he looks like Harry Styles if Harry Styles had a decades-long methamphetamine addiction.
