Weekly Sentence |
|
In thirty-two
seconds, the mighty airship Hindenburg
was a mass of flaming wreckage on the ground. |
|
Amazingly, of the
ninety-seven people on board, sixty-seven survived the explosion. |
|
The cause of the Hindenburg explosion is still a
mystery. |
|
Zeppelins were now
seen as death traps, and all interest in building more of them died with the Hindenburg. |
