Being a poor student of history I have to ask:  Does the word
"Hindenburg" mean anything?  (maybe that was an explosion, not a fire?)

David in Durango, had my buns toasted one too many times . . ..

It was fire caused by a lightning strike.  Interestingly, the flames you
see from the Hindenburg were actually from the aluminized dope used to
seal the envelope, hydrogen burns clear.
