Hindenburg burning - concept arts

1937, Lakehurst, USA.
It had rained rubble, ashes and burning people for 32 seconds. The airship Hindenburg had hovered over the floor for an endless blink of an eye.
Then, the 16 huge gascells of the zeppelin exploded and 20 000 cubic meters of hydrogin formed one of the most terrible engineering catastrophes of the last century.

Almost 75 years later, Pixomondo got the task to bring this catastrophe on screen. The Hindenburg has been digitally reconstructed screw for screw. A lot of camera positions are recreated basing on documentary material.
