The precise trigger for the conflagration that brought down the Hindenburg has eluded experts for over 80 years, but newly discovered amateur footage of the crash shows the airship’s final seconds from a fresh angle—allowing historians for the first time to see the airship from nose to tail just after the fire breaks out. Taking clues from this new evidence and other historical sources, NOVA leads a fresh investigation with eye-opening experiments that could finally solve the mystery.
