Made for TV drama recreating the May 1937 disaster in which the German airship the Hindenburg caught fire. The Hindenburg was the largest airship in the world and a symbol of growing German commercial and military power. Initially designed to use the non-flammable helium as a lifting gas, the US embargo on helium exports forced the use of hydrogen instead. This proved catastrophic when, docking in New Jersey in 1937, the ship caught fire and burned furiously before the eyes of the world. The drama follows some of the Hindenburg's passengers, including an airship designer, Gestapo agents and fleeing Jews, as they journey towards tragedy.　　由德國(guó)人所設(shè)計(jì)的「興登堡號(hào)」飛船以804英尺的長(zhǎng)度名列史上最壯觀(guān)的載客飛船它優(yōu)美的外觀(guān)線(xiàn)條加上內(nèi)部一流的設(shè)備有如豪華的空中游輪能搭乘此船可說(shuō)是一生中極盡奢華的享受然而發(fā)生在1937年的一場(chǎng)重大災(zāi)難事件徹底終止了飛船的黃金年代興登堡號(hào)在降落時(shí)發(fā)生爆炸意外熊熊烈火將整艘船燃燒殆盡　　故事講述一九三九年一艘滿(mǎn)載各式人等飛往紐約的德國(guó)造興登堡飛船在抵達(dá)紐約上空時(shí)發(fā)生爆炸造成了歷史上的大悲劇
