Didn't the Hindenburg explode because there was jet fuel on the balloon, who thought they'd use a future and flammable technology to cover the blimp!

Gonna make genesis spurt out zombies!

...no.

Some people believe that the reaction of two elements in the skin of the balloon (iron oxide and aluminum) created thermite, a compound that once ignited basically turns into 3,000 degree C lava.

But it's not really proven, and the main factor was the hydrogen regardless.

Except for the bit where it had been flying around for 2 years before the explosion.

Hindenburg exploded because of hydrogen gas. anything else is just a side show.
