Re: Progress
Hindenburg was Hydrogen, which isn't used for lighter than air craft anymore. 12 miles up is too far to shoot, much too far for fireworks, and you can't see the thing to aim at it anyway.
They have bigger problems. See my earlier post on frequency wasting.

| There are many theories about the exact cause of the Hindenburg disaster. Regardless, no serious position can be advanced that hydrogen wasn't a significant factor in the speed, size, and scope of the fire/explosion.
If it had been filled with helium, as it was designed to be, it would have been a much smaller and less spectacular event--if it caught fire at all.
