| Description: | Master 58 Part 1 Same as catalog # 491692, 507139 & 312604. See also catalog # 253073 Pathe News Special on the Hindenburg (Hindenberg) disaster with shots filmed by American Pathe on the Hindenburg's visit and dramatic and tragic self-destruction in U.S. PATHE NEWS SPECIAL. Shots of the zeppelin preparing to dock flying over New York City, New York, and Newark, New Jersey- , with title "Actual Zeppelin Crash!" title over it. Nice shots of the German airship Hindenburg flying over New York (the Swastikas on her tail fin are clearly visible). Ground shots of the airship passing overhead. The airship flies over the landing ground at Lakehurst, New Jersey. The airship can be seen ditching ballast. The landing lines are dropped and then an explosion is heard. Shots of the Hindenburg on fire. Good shots as the flaming airship falls to the ground. (Natural sound as the airship falls to the ground rather than the well known radio commentary). People go up to look at the blazing ruins of the mighty airship. Pan along the now twisted and burnt body of the craft. | |
