67/150 Everyone knows the story of the Hindenburg disaster, but this is a piece of history previously unknown to me. At the beginning of the 1930s, the British created the largest hydrogen airship, the R101, ever to fly. It was over 700 feet long, and used a combination of hydrogen, gasoline and diesel engines. Hydrogen flying craft had a long history of crashes and fiery explosions, so it's not surprise how this story ends. Continued below ⬇️⬇️
RamsFan1963 The amazing thing is, despite the history of hydrogen crafts exploding and/or crashing, both the British and the Germans continued to build them, each time bigger and more complex but with the same fatal flaw. Arrogance and pride won over common sense. 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10mo
