兴登堡末日航班

Made for TV drama recreating the May 1937 disaster in which the German airship the Hindenburg caught fire. The Hindenburg was the largest airship in the world and a symbol of growing German commercial and military power. Initially designed to use the non-flammable helium as a lifting gas, the US embargo on helium exports forced the use of hydrogen instead. This proved catastrophic when, docking in New Jersey in 1937, the ship caught fire and burned furiously before the eyes of the world. The drama follows some of the Hindenburg"s passengers, including an airship designer, Gestapo agents and fleeing Jews, as they journey towards tragedy. 由德国人所设计的「兴登堡号」飞船，以804英尺的长度名列史上最壮观的载客飞船它优美的外观线条加上内部一流的设备有如豪华的空中游轮，能搭乘此船可说是一生中极尽奢华的享受。然而，发生在1937年的一场重大灾难事件，彻底终止了飞船的黄金年代。兴登堡号在降落时发生爆炸意外，熊熊烈火将整艘船燃烧殆尽。 故事讲述一九三九年，一艘满载各式人等飞往纽约的德国造兴登堡飞船，在抵达纽约上空时发生爆炸，造成了历史上的大悲剧。
