The Hindenburg disaster was an airship accident that occurred on May 6, 1937, in Manchester Township, New Jersey, United States. The German zeppelin Hindenburg suddenly caught fire, which resulted in the death of 35 people. The event was captured on film and in an equally iconic photograph. As U.S. radio journalist Herbert Morrison watched the horrible accident unfold in front of his very eyes, he was completely shocked, breaking in tears and famously exclaimed: "Oh, the humanity!". His radio commentary was later synchronized with the film footage.
The Hindenburg disaster has become one of the most famous 20th-century events and has been referenced in The Simpsons numerous times.
