摘要：

Hydrogen gas was initially blamed for the Hindenburg tragedy. However, studies show otherwise. There was no instantaneous explosion and the ship was in trim. There were flames with fireworks display, while hydrogen gas burns with a colorless flame. There was also downward burning observed, while hydrogen would typically burn upward.
