Stuff You Should Know
The Hindenburg Disaster

But yeah, I think, including me... Well, never mind, there it is.

Stuff You Should Know
The Hindenburg Disaster

What?

Stuff You Should Know
The Hindenburg Disaster

Oh, yeah.

But including me, though, Chuck, I thought it was the maiden voyage, too.

I didn't realize it was just part of a larger thing either.

Stuff You Should Know
The Hindenburg Disaster

Yeah, I know you're not really supposed to say that, but it's true.
