If you are referring to the airship Hindenburg, it is now pretty common knowledge that it burst into flames because of the special varnish they used on the fabric and not because of the hydrogen.

You obviously don't have a clue as to what you're talking about! Hydrogen burns with an almost invisible flame and no smoke (carbon). How does this square with the photos of the tragedy. The real culprit was diesel fuel and the aluminized/rubberized skin which was coated with a highly flammable "dope" akin to nitrocellulose. It can be compressed and cooled to a liquid. You are spreading disinformation... Cut it out!!! Check out the Zeppelin Museum in Friedrichshafen. It's a fascinating museum: zeppelin-museum.de
