I was impressed by how quickly the ground crew went from running from the crashing Hindenburg to running back to it.

Goebbels wanted to name the Hindenburg for Adolf Hitler.
Eckener, no fan of the Third Reich, named the airship for the late German president Paul von Hindenburg and refused Goebbels’ request to name it after Hitler. The Führer, never enthralled by the great airships in the first place, was ultimately glad that the zeppelin that crashed in a fireball didn’t bear his name.

also...

Frau Eva von Zeppelin was offended by the group's name (Led Zepplin) for "dishonouring the family name". The direct descendant of Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin demanded the band to change their name. On 28th Feb, 1970, the group performed one show in Copenhagen as The Nobs but decided to retain their original name afterwards due to popular and critical opinions that favoured their original name.

Now let's try it Hindenburg style, fill those suckers with hydrogen.

I thought we learned our lesson with Hydrogen?

Does any know what the dangers are ,when compared with regular gasoline? (or other fuels).

( I admit I'm uninformed and judge all Hydrogen vehicles by the fate of the Hindenburg.)

In my mind the solution to this problem is simple, if the information in EULA's and other similar documents is really that important and legally binding then people should be forced to read through all of them before buying anything. In this new system you can't go down to the corner store and buy a pack of gum without first reading through a small novel's worth of legalese and proving that you understand all of it.
Do that and this crap will go down in flames faster than the Hindenburg, even the corporate lawyers who dream this horseshit up will quickly get tired of it and decide this wasn't worth the trouble.

Meh. Your tumescent head and my own together make the Hindenburg look like a child's toy balloon. If any piece of shit was worthy of a shanghai it was this one...

A suggestion? How about embedding some sift-worthy offerings and run that for a while instead of your flatulent, grade-school bully script. Tell all your circle-jerk buddies to do the same and perhaps the place will profit from some traffic, creativity, intelligent banter and bit more color.

Done with this thread, off to hijack another school bus full of Special Olympics kids-oh and, DO come back for more soul-searching exercise, I'm just warming-up.

I'm pretty sure most McDonalds employees aren't motivated or payed enough to hate me with the kind of vigor that Henry suggests. Also, gassy? Go eat yourself a nice bowl of healthy looking green asparagus and come back to me with enough methane to light you up so bright as to make the Hindenburg look like a teenager lighting a fart.

I remember playing "return to zork" on a mac computer... same time I seen the Hindenburg crash on the encyclopedia cd... oh to be in grade seven again....

Well, with the hindenberg, we didn't see literally people dying before our eyes. We knew they were, but there were no images of people burning and crashing to their deaths.

FAQ:
"Note: The presence of human fatality is acceptable and not considered "snuff" if presented as a limited portion of a lengthy educational, informative news report or documentary."

I'm reading this as a video having some sort of insight into an informative event. But do we really need to actually see the man murdered in order to be informed of the event? Can't text such as what is in the videos description, give us enough information?

I'm thinking of a scenario like this:

You say to me:
"Man A was murdered by Man B"

I say:
"That's not enough information, I need to actually see Man B murder Man A."

I'm not following this logic. And it's not as if this is a current event, nor do I really understand what the relevance in anyone's lives are for this to be considered "news". I mean, you can't spell news without new! (oh god that was lame)


Also, if we can just upload a "limited portion of a lengthy" piece of a news event, can someone sift a video collage of various people being murdered, all taken from documentaries, and set it to an uplifting soundtrack of something?

>> ^Throbbin:
I don't think this is snuff. It was a very powerful political incident in Japan.

Back to sincere discussion, I can see this viewpoint as well. It's always seemed like historical events (Hindenburg, fires, earthquakes, etc.) were held differently in the Sift's estimation... Maybe some clarification on that front would be helpful moving forward. Then, again, this is why I stick to Comedysift.

America is soaring.. like the Hindenburg.

Not an easy find, I'll concede. Here's one with an exploding Hindenburg background for your enjoyment!

I'd love to see the size of the balloon used in the hot air balloon version, though. Hindenburg.
