The Hindenburg catastrophe occurred on 6 May, 1937. The cause of the fire remains unknown, though there are multiple theories. Surprisingly, only 36 people perished in the disaster, one of them a ground crewman. The loss of the Hindenburg caused a decline in public interest in airship travel. What would have happened if the Hindenburg had not been lost? Maybe zeppelins would have remained popular. Also the band Led Zeppelin would have had to come up with a different photo for their debut album's cover. Personally, I'd like to fly on an airship some day. But I'm eccentric like that.

Thoughts from the White Board - June 15

I've had achy sinus pain for a couple of days.  !@#$%  But it could be worse.  I could feel worse, like my wife does.  Sorry babe.  Hope you get better soon.

Finished reading the biography of Eisenhower's presidency that I've been working on off and on for the past week or two.  I t was good, and I learned a lot.  I'll do a review of it in the next week or so, I hope.  But for now, I think I'll keep this post short and to the point.


For every failure, there's an alternative
course of action. You just have to find it.
