And there's here's the my favorite little dark detail.

It was partially built using metal salvaged from another hydrogen airship that had already crashed, which is less like recycling and more like tempting fate, I think.

Chelsea, why do we keep equating the biggest ever built with the best or like the smartest thing?

Well, you're so right.

Also, SUVs, right?

There was a time in the 80s when cars got very small and efficient.

And then all of a sudden, everyone just wanted, like, these tanks.

Yeah, they give off, to me, RoboCop vibes.

Yeah.

It's like 80s violence.

It just looks like a violent vehicle.

The best lie is partial truth.

So this Hindenburg, it was 800 feet long.

It was absolutely massive.

But it had a cabin.

So underneath was this sort of structure in which the crew and the passengers would ride.
