Helium Could Have Saved Hindenburg Disaster
Government experts say replacing hydrogen with helium in the Hindenburg might have prevented the Lakehurst crash at an estimated cost of 35 000 to 60 000 dollars. The United States controls over 90 percent of global helium, with production costs cited by Roscoe A. Cattell. Roosevelt allegedly discussed selling serium to Germany under non military use, but no action followed. Dr Eckner, linked to the Zeppelin firm, had fallen from favor in the Nazi regime.
