I imagine it was cause it wasn't being covered by a news crew.

I think it was the audio that got folks attention with the Hindy.

Roma crashed by NAS Norfolk a good while before the Hindenburg incident. The forerunner of the pilot (lower case intended) covered it. The images Stu saw may have been theirs.

I got a chapter or two on her in my library somewheres.

I don't think folks realized how explosive that Hydrogen gas could be. Any small spark could set it off. Helium gas is much safer.

Only two I remember ,lR is the Macon and Akron. when the Akron went down, that kinda ended the Navy's experiment with ridgid airships. Whoa! just remembered a third, the Shenandoa. It went down, too. ::)

Gonna go check the line out inna minute. Don't expect I'll go in now. Doubt there's gonna be too much of a wait 'round 1030 er so. Be long agin this evenin'.

UPDATE: Parkin' lot didn't look like all too many folks wuz there. Decided ta go in. They musta car pooled. Too late then.

Got down ta the last question on the ballot, the choo-choo, 'n the thing didn't wanna take my NO vote. I weren't gonna move 'til it did. After I asked for a center punch 'n a hammer it took it.
