![Herbert Morrison (May 14, 1905 January 10, 1989) was an American radio reporter best known for his vivid description of the Hindenburg disaster - a catastrophic explosion and fire that destroyed the Hindenburg zeppelin on May 6, 1937. Hindenburg burst into flames above Lakehurst Naval Air Station on that day. This disaster ended the era of commercial passenger service in rigid, lighter-than-air crafts. Of the 36 passengers and 61 crew on board, 13 passengers and 22 crew died. One member of the ground crew was also killed, making a total of 36 lives lost in the disaster. These were Herbert Morrisons words as he witnessed the event: It's practically standing still now. They've dropped ropes out of the nose of the ship; and (uh) they've been taken ahold of down on the field by a number of men. It's starting to rain again; it'sâthe rain had (uh) slacked up a little bit. The back motors of the ship are just holding it (uh) just enough to keep it fromâ It's burst into flames!
