Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis episode perpetuates the myth that exploding hydrogen was the cause of the Hindenburg crash. Actually, the cause has been proved to be the coating of the aircraft skin - consisting of aluminum powder and iron hydrate. This mixture was used in rocket fuel. Once ignited by a spark, the coating burned very quickly, destroying the skin of the aircraft. The hydrogen would not have ignited and burned in such a manner on its own due to a lack of adequate oxygen within the airframe. Once the skin burned, the hydrogen would have ignited and burned quickly and relatively safely above the aircraft.
- GoofsDuring the crash of the Hindenburg, a piano is seen sliding across the lounge. In reality, the piano was removed from the Hindenburg before the 1937 season, and therefore was not present during the crash in New Jersey.
- Quotes
Connor Mason: You need to go with them.
Rufus Carlin: I can't. I am a coder. Okay? That is what I'm good at. All right? I don't like to leave my desk, let alone go in there or back then. Also, I don't know how it works across the pond, but I am black. There is literally no place in American history that'll be awesome for me.

Featured review
The Hindenburg looks Realistic
The first episode which I watched of season one is creative in realism. The characters of Rufus, Wyatt, and Lucy's character really fit well in how a situation of stopping a former NSA agent who stole a mother-ship, while the three are in a lifeboat.
Like the special effects of the time-machines while they look real on a less reflective screen and seeing the Hindenburg like if I was watching a balloon festival in Texas up close. Realistic. I could imagine if Malcolm, Matt, Goran, and Abigail's eye's start to bulge out of their sockets seeing something with some pop-out quality.
