    Actually, recent studies have suggested that hydrogen wasn't even the main cause of the Hindenburg disaster. The silver anti-reflective coating on the airship was largely made from powdered aluminum, which we now know makes for excellent rocket fuel. (Used in the solid rocket boosters of the shuttle)
