Real cause of Hindenburg disaster


I didn't see this mentioned here. The skin of the Hindenburg caught fire due to, I believe, a lightning strike. (It may have been caused by something else, but the skin of the Hindenburg catching fire has been definitively proven.)

Of course after that, the Hindenburg being filled with hydrogen basically caused it to explode.
