  • Today marks the 80th anniversary of the tragic Hindenburg disaster, where a German zeppelin (similar to a blimp) filled with flammable hydrogen gas exploded and crashed while trying to land in New Jersey, killing 36 people. Despite the tragic nature, it's been parodied and mentioned in numerous cartoons!
    In order, the clips come from "Pokemon," "The Simpsons," "Family Guy," "The Looney Tunes Show," "DuckTales," "Rocko's Modern Life," "CatDog," "I.M. Weasel" and "Amazing World of Gumball." All clips are copyrighted by their respective owners; FAIR USE!

      9/11 was FAR worse than the Hindenburg disaster. 9/11 was an intentional terrorist attack that killed thousands. The Hindenburg disaster was an accident, and only 36 people died (there were 97 aboard the airship when it exploded and crashed, and most of the deaths were crew members.)

    I think the idea of these cartoons and this humor in general is to exploit the hazardous nature of the airship design. That they were simply giant railway carts fitted with diesel engines floating hundreds of feet above the ground with giant hydrogen filled balloons. It's to ridicule and slander the very idea of these airships that promoted luxury and comfort above safety.

      Well, the death toll was much lower with the Hindenburg disaster. Out of the 97 people aboard the zeppelin, only 35 of them died, most of them being crew members (one of the navy linesmen on the ground also died in the crash, bringing the death count to 36.)
