DVD Reviews of The Hindenburg Disaster

DVD Review: The Hindenburg Documentary Disaster...
Summary: 2 Stars

I thank my lucky stars that I purchased this item used. This "documentary" starts you with a five minute jumble of footage regarding disasters in general and having nothing to do with airships at all! It is followed by an incredibly long and wandering history of lighter-than-air travel - again having nothing to do with the title of this DVD. The producers' mantra should have been: "This DVD is entitled The Hindenburg Disaster" and stuck to it. Unfortunately, they did not.

The only real items of interest are the speculation on the fabric skin and the actual footage of the disaster because it includes both minutes prior to the explosion and much of the aftermath. There is also some interesting footage (filler)of a replica of the control car from the disaster movie "The Hindenburg" or was it "The Movie Disaster Hindenburg" and a fabulous museum in Germany with a fullscale replica of the passenger accomodations. I would have given this item a "1 star" had it not been for the above. YMMV

DVD Review: Could have been better
Summary: 3 Stars

A documentary of the Hindenburg disaster through the eyes of actual eye witnesses. The missing element was Herb Morrison's radio announcement. Why was it left out?

Description of The Hindenburg Disaster

New York / Lakehurst, May 6th 1937, 7 pm: The "Hindenburg" has come all the way from Europe - a luxurious flying hotel, faster than any ship. The pride of the Third Reich prepares to land, and hundreds of onlookers have gathered to watch. Then, all of a sudden, a burst of flame appeared on the outer cover, just forward of the upper fin. In a matter of seconds, the largest airship ever built goes down in a fiery blaze. With the assistance of NASA experts, this compelling documentary follows the course of the Hindenburg's last flight and unravels the mystery of one of the greatest disasters this century.
