what i didn't know about the hindenburg until recently, even though i've read about it a little before, was that the majority of the people on board actually survived. and apparently a lot of the ones who died were the ones who jumped. while that kind of makes sense since it didn't fall very fast and the fire went so fast you could probably survive, it sure does suck for the ones who jumped.
Frontline did an hourlong expose on the tank guy, which amounted to them shrugging their shoulders as to who the guy was. They did say for sure that he did not die.
