Talk:Hindenburg

Implying on the front page that the deaths of 35 people are not tragic is kind of tacky.-AmesG_yo! 12:42, 6 May 2007 (EDT)

Perhaps they were bad people... They seem to have mostly been foreigners, after all. [1] --Jeremiah4-22 12:50, 6 May 2007 (EDT)

The notion that the airships like the Hindenburg had a future is not correct. Passanger jets would regularly cross the Atlantic within twenty years of the disaster. If anything, the US Navy already knew that airships were not relaible, having lost several in the 1930s, as shown here <ttp://spot.colorado.edu/~dziadeck/airship/usa.htm>--1048247 13:17, 6 May 2007 (EDT)(forgot time stamp)

Please correct the article, then. And while you're at it, don't make those 35 lives sound so devalued. I can't stand that.-AmesG_yo! 13:15, 6 May 2007 (EDT)

Ames, your criticism is completely misplaced. Nobody devalues any lives on Conservapedia. The point is obvious to the open-minded and if you think politically correct censorship works here, forget it.--Aschlafly 13:21, 6 May 2007 (EDT)

I’m a little bothered by the insinuation that the people who did not jump remained calm. I suspect they did not get the chance to jump. Anyone who has seen the newsreel footage knows that this happened very quickly. Somehow, I think that if most people had several hundred pounds of flammable gas ignite over their heads, “calm” would not be the way to describe their reaction. --1048247 13:23, 6 May 2007 (EDT)

Andy, characterizing it as a "media hysteria" even without reference to, or with passing, glancing reference to the tragedy is insensitive.-AmesG_yo! 13:25, 6 May 2007 (EDT)

Nazism

You're article seems to suggest that the US boycott of Nazi Germany was a bad thing. I assume that you did not mean to imply this. Could someone maybe comment on this? When I do a google search on "boycott Hindenburg helium" I get WashTimes, Chron, and other papers, but the first site to come up is a neo nazi site called adolfthegreat.com. May I add a comment here about the reasons the US boycotted the evil, atheist Nazi regime?MoshiachNow 16:45, 6 May 2007 (EDT)

Why would you undo the factual edit? Do you not think it is relevant to give the real history, as opposed to making it seem that the US wanted to cause the deaths on the Hindenburg? Are you embarrassed that the US fought the Nazis?MoshiachNow 16:53, 6 May 2007 (EDT)

Everybody knows the Nazis were evil. It looks strange and non-encyclopedic to go out of our way to state it. DanH 16:54, 6 May 2007 (EDT)

Everyone knows who the Almighty is but we talk about Him anyway. The article as it was written clearly implied that the US was somehow responsible, because of an implied bad boycott.MoshiachNow 16:56, 6 May 2007 (EDT)
