We all know the story of the Hindenburg disaster, on May 6, 1937, the German rigid airship named the Hindenburg caught fire as a result of a gas leak while it was trying to land and crashed in Manchester Township, New Jersey on May 6, 1937 and resulted in 36 deaths. This in turn would cause the popularity of the airship to plummet and soon afterwards lead to the demise of airship travel, with all the remaining one being scrapped in the following years.
Let's say that in an alternate timeline that the Hindenburg disaster never happens. Would airships still be around? Could they have possibly serve during World War II, much like they had in World War I? Could they remain a popular mode of transport for upper-class people like cruise ships are today?
And yes, I know this topic was talk about quite a few times already, but I can't comment on inactive threads that haven't had activity for months or even years or else I might get kicked
