Hindenburg Disaster Newsreel Footage (1937)

Review by tavm

Hindenburg Disaster Newsreel Footage

10/10

The Hindenburg Disaster Newsreel Footage with Herbert Morrison commentary can still pack a wallop today

Just watched the famous footage of the airship Hindenburg bursting into flames with audio commentary from Herbert Morrison of radio station WLS-Chicago, Ill. (which is where I was born) Mr. Morrison is understandably breaking down uncontrollably as he sees the terrible tragedy before his eyes. It should be noted that the remote from Lakehurst, N.J. didn't air live on the air but was transcribed via disc recording for later broadcast. That recording would years later be dubbed in newsreel footage shot by cameramen from Fox, Pathe, Hearst, and Paramount. Another one from Universal was also supposed to be involved but ending up seeing a Broadway play when the Hindenburg arrived much later-due to bad weather-than scheduled. Perhaps the most fascinating documentary footage ever shot up to that time of a disaster concerning a man-made dirigible and fire. I watched this on Internet Archive.
