The Hindenburg

70 years ago today the Hidenburg went down in flames here in New Jersey. It still remains a bit of a mystery how it happened. But a classic lesson to learn from it is that most of the deaths were people who jumped. Most passengers who remained on board, landed safely.

NPR has an audio clip of a news broadcast of the incident. It sounds like it might not have been live.
