The burning frame of the Hindenburg on the ground at Lakehurst

Across the width of the picture the girders of the airship's frame lie in a crumpled lattice on the landing field, flames glowing along its length; a dense black cloud rises above it into a grey sky, and small figures of ground crew and onlookers stand and run on the open ground before it. Of the 97 people on board, 35 died, together with one man of the ground crew.
