Plug has to pass certain safety standards. I'm betting explosion was due to lack of maintenance or perhaps horse play in the warehouse. Hope the investigation has answers soon.
The incendiary paint theory (IPT) was proposed in 1996 by retired NASA scientist Addison Bain, stating that the doping compound of the airship was the cause of the fire, and that the Hindenburg would have burned even if it were filled with helium.
Like non explosive propane ? Lol. Saw a rail car full of propone blow in the 70’s in Decatur Illinois in the raill yards. Explosion rattled building 35 miles away in Tuscola , Il. One person in the yard lost his hearing. That was the only casualty . My personal experience , I drove a forklift at Wagner’s Casting ( a foundry) for 2 years. I drove the lift from the furnace to the pouring line. That furnace lip was 15 ft up. The bull-ladle had to be lifted so iron when poured from the furnace would travel over the lip into the bull-ladle. Point being never a history of propane explosion. What makes hydrogen any more dangerous than propane ?
