Hydrogen gas caused the Hindenburg disaster in 1937.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
9 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that hydrogen gas caused the Hindenburg disaster in 1937?

Unclear. Several reference and news items state the Hindenburg was filled with hydrogen and that hydrogen ignited and burned, and one 1937 report relays Eckener's belief that leaking hydrogen ignited by static electricity caused the disaster. None of the placed items settles that hydrogen gas was the definitive cause, and one textbook says the actual cause will never be known.
