True. The Hindenburg was indeed the name of the German airship that exploded over Lakehurst, New Jersey in 1937. The Hindenburg was a hydrogen-filled airship and the explosion was caused by the combustion of hydrogen gas. The accident resulted in the destruction of the airship and the loss of 36 lives. The use of hydrogen instead of helium, which is less flammable, was a contributing factor to the disaster.
