The Hindenburg was made at the Zeppelin dockyards at Friedrichshafen in Germany in 1936. After five years of construction, it was ready for its maiden test flight. For three decades, tens of thousands of passengers had taken more than 2,000 flights and had flown over a million miles, without a single injury. That all changed on May 6, 1937 when the massive airship crashed at Lakehurst, New Jersey. The disaster killed 35 passengers on the airship, and only one member of the ground crew. By some miracle, 62 of the 97 passengers and crew survived the horrific incident.
