As a young woman growing up near Perth Amboy, NJ the stories of the Hindenburg disaster were local history and I remember going with my father to the actual site where we viewed a fairly lengthy uncut bit of on site footage, including the famous newsreel reporter's emotional coverage describing the event as it unfolded. This clip is clearly an edited and less dramatic version marked for public distribution at the time (it was not until sometime after the Viet Nam war public broadcast of certain types of disasters breeched the censors. the public at large was deemed to have too fragile a mentality to be allowed uncut film footage showing the sensationalism of death or mass destruction)and does not carry the impact of the original footage, however is still effective and quite moving.
