I've never looked into the Hindenburg or seen any footage other than black and white. Just saw a TV show and was under the impression that it was the flame progression, shape and resulting damage that was leading researchers to conclude that the fabric/paint was the big problem. Anyway, I know hydrogen and have used it in torches and you are right about color. But other chemicals around can change that. Hydrogen is not a particularly explosive or fast and hot burning substance, compared to other animals, which is why I though the researchers first began to scratch their heads. I actually used hydrogen because it was a cool flame. Had a little biz making plexiglass stuff while going to school and used it to flame polish. Everything else burned too hot or dirty and would wreck the plastic. -g-
