That's why the Hindenburg didn't suddenly explode while they were filling it up due to a tiny microscopic leak somewhere. Also for LDHs water's involved, kind of, but it's got more to do with metal hydroxides forming clay layers. --- End quote --- Well that was kinda my point. The Hindenburg had a lot of contributing factors that caused it to go up, a leak and flying through thunderstorm clouds being the resulting catalyst. The combination of using Hydrogen and super flammable paint on the skin akin to rocket fuel was a massive error on their part. But then again, the US was already on a helium embargo, so the Germans had no choice but to use Hydrogen. |

And you were completely correct, I just added that bit. Anyways my favorite weather related precipitation is probably rain. |
