Original – The Hindenberg airship going down in flames on 6 May 1937 in Manchester Township, New Jersey in an event known as the Hindenburg disaster.
Reason
The Hindenberg Disaster abruptly ended an era in which airships were very popular, as is known as one of the most famous aviation accidents. These images showed people that airships are dangerous. It is just like the "Oh, the humanity" quote about the disaster, a pretty important piece of media.
