Comments

This DVD includes astounding vintage footage of the Hindenburg, both before, during and after its tragic explosion! There are some especially rare shots of the ship mid-air above New York City. Of course, the explosion footage is amazing and tragic. This is a very important piece of video documentation. Don't miss it!
