The Hindenburg was going to land at Lakehurst, New Jersey when out of nowhere it suddenly caught on fire.

In 1914, the ability of a military to simply fly over their enemy armies and attack their bases became a reality, and the morality of using military force against civilians became insignificant against the potent results of airship bombing. But with the inaccuracy of the early planes, the main target for this kind of warfare became cities and civilians, specifically
