said:
"Henceforth, naturally, no pas

other nations 20 understand that

many's great gray dirigible Hin
dcnburg exploded and burned last
night just as she reached jour-
ney's end on the first North At
lantic crossing Of the season.
There were 100 personS-pas-
sengers and crew-aboard. At
1O:3O p. m., EDIT, officials of the
naval air station reported 66 per-
sons had survived the disaster.
They said some Of the 81 still un-
accounted for might be alive. =,
Some Of the passengers and
crew saved themselves by jumping
as the Hindenburg settled toward
the ground with flames leaping
from the big silver bag that was
swollen with inflammable hydro
gen.
Others were pulled out of the
wreckage by heroic sailors of the
naval air station who dashed to
the rescue while the girders still
glowed red with heat.
It was toward dusk when the
Hindenburg came over the field
and pointed her nose at the moor
ing mast. A ground crew had their
hands on the lines and were edg-
ing her in toward the mast:
There was a heavy explosion,
followed by minor blasts.
Flames spread up to the fabric
until half of the ship was a huge
torch.
EARLY OPINIONS AS TO
CAUSE CONFLICTING
A member of the crew said ne
thought lightning struck the Hin
denburg, but most persons who,
witnessed the disaster believed
something inside the ship explod-
ed. An officer of the naval ar
station told the United Press it
was "a hydrogen explosion"
Among the survivors were three
of the Hindenburg's ranking offi-
cers-Capt. Ernst Lehman, Capt.
Max Pruss and Capt. Albert
Sammt. Pruss was in active
charge of the ship and Lehman,
veteran of score of ocean cross
ings by dirigible, was aboard in an
advisory capacity.
Lehman and Pruss were taken
to the Paul Kimball hospital in
Lakewood where their condition
was said to be grave. Both suf-
fered severe burns.
The giant ship had been riding
through a heavy storm, bright with
lightning. awaiting a favorable
chance to land.
She approached the field short.
ly before 1880 p. m. EDIT and
pointed her nose for the mobile
mooring mast a mile away. The
ground crew ran out and picked
up the lines that were thrown
overheard.
The big gray ship was about 200
feet off the ground and was just
ready to nose into the mooring
mast.
There came loud explosion.
Flames shot out and raced up
the fabric of the big bag, swollen
with inflammable hydrogen.
The Hindenburg pumped to the
ground, sending out vast clouds
of smoke. |
A few hundred persons had
gathered at the field to receive
the Hindenburg. Women scream
ed. Through the smoke a few per-
sons could be seen leaping from
the ship. i
