Shit I never knew about blimps/ballooning until today:
Other odd shit, they had Bluthner make a special aluminium piano for the Hindenburg (to keep weight down.) It was removed before the fateful final voyage, but was destroyed in an Allied air raid. And if this footage is any indication, it sounds like something The Caretaker would jizz himself over:
Admittedly, this could be the age of the film stock and soundtrack, but higher quality videos of other aluminium pianos do exist, and they sound unusual. I'd show you, but there's still one more video I'd like to show you before I hit the 3-video limit: recently unearthed footage of the disaster that actually is at a better angle than the famous footage we all know about:
- When first pitched to Louis XVI, his initial plan was to test it using condemned criminals.
- The first major use of ballooning: military espionage. Including a Union Army Balloon Corps.
- If you remember the Monty Python clip of Ferdinand von Zeppelin going ballistic at people calling his airship a balloon, while he never tossed anyone out of the gondola for misnaming the airship, he was somehow more batshit crazy than that.
- The much touted safety record of blimps and zeppelins? It's not because it's intrinsically safer than planes or other means of conveyance (quite the opposite, really). It's because the Zeppelin corporation and the companies that control the few blimps around today have a shitton of rules covering when it's supposed to fly, and if it's likely that there are any averse conditions, the pilot ain't going to fly it.
- Notable downside of a one-week transatlantic blimp flight: no showers.
