00:50The disaster of the Hindenburg marked a point of inflexion in the history of aviation,
00:59changing for always the perception of the public on the aeronaves.
01:05The LZ-129 Hindenburg was a wonderful engineer.
01:10The design was a testimony of the innovation and ambition in the alemanes.
01:15The aeronave was colossal.
01:17It was more than 800 feet long.
01:19It was a long time of years old.
01:22It was a long time of any other aircraft of his time.
01:24The arm of the Hindenburg was made of aluminum, a light and light and resist.
01:30The surface was a light and light and light.
01:32It was a thick and light, cuidadosamente tratable to resist the elements.
01:35In the interior, the Hindenburg was the epitome of luxury.
01:40It contained with elegant comedores,
01:42comfortable salas of estar and spacious camarades.
01:45The passengers could enjoy the panoramic views from the wide windows.
01:49The aeronave was more than a simple transport tool.
01:53It was a flotable hotel,
01:55which offered a unique and unique journey.
01:58The design of the Hindenburg was faced with a crucial decision.
02:05What type of gas used for the elevation?
02:07The helium, a safe and non-inflamable, was the ideal choice.
02:12However, the helium was scarce and expensive.
02:15The US, which had a total monopoly of helium,
02:20they refused to sell it to Germany.
02:22Germany, faced these limitations, opted for hydrogen.
02:27The hydrogen was easily available and significantly cheaper.
02:32However, it was a dangerous election.
02:35The hydrogen is extremely inflatable
02:37and has a considerable risk.
02:39This fatídica decision would have catastrophic consequences.

03:29in the aeronaves.
03:31The disaster of the Hindenburg
03:33serves as a clear indication
03:34of the potential of tragedy
03:36in the search of technological progress.
03:38It shows the importance of security,
03:40the security,
03:41the prevision
03:42and the engineering responsibility.
03:44The disaster also left a hue
03:46imborrable in the popular culture,
03:48inspirating books,
03:49movies
03:50and innumerable works of art.
