FWIW the Hindenberg problem had nothing to do with the hydrogen, it was
the rocket fuel they unknowingly painted it with. Engineering said no,
hasn't been safety tested, but the owners overruled them.

I didn't know that. I always though the various airship disasters were all
caused by the hydrogen burning explosively.

No, and you can see from the movie footage
that the Hindenburg didnt burn explosively.
