looked like it was raining pretty hard in the newsreel footage..
Newsreel? That was the Hindenburg you saw there.
Oh, the humanity!
But it really was a nasty storm they were flying in. From the TV footage,
it's hard to tell whether they were trying to come down, or whether a
down-draft drove them down, but they hit hard and the crew was trapped
inside the wreckage, briefly.
Apparently they were unhurt, however, so that's the good news.
