LAKEHURST. N. J , Friday. May 7—(l’.P)—Officials estimated that 33 of the 97 aboard Ihe Hindenburg— passengers and crew—were dead, but estimates of bodies recovered varied from 19 to 36
NAVAL AIR STATION, LAKEHURST. N. J., May 6—(tT.P)—A blast from exploding hydrogen in her huge gas bags brought the dirigible Hindenburg to earth in flames tonight Just as she was ready to nose into a mooring mast at Journey s end.
Ninety-seven persons—passengers and crew—were aboard.
Thirty-three of them are dead or missing.
A ground crew had gone out to grasp the ropes and help bring the big ship, sure and swift tn thc air, but awkward when she neared the ground, to a safe landing. When the first blast came, thc ground crew fled for their lives.
Then they came back. ONLOOKERS LEND HAND
Smoke veiled half of the long, gray airship. There was nothing left of the other half but girders and steel framework—things thit fire could not destroy. Into that wreckage, glowing red with heat, plunged naval station sailors and civilian onlookers, heedleai of their own safety.
Hundreds of yards away women shrieked hysterically as they saw bodies come plunging out of tha Hindenburg as she neared ths ground. Many of those who had enough presence of mind to Jump are alive tonight. Those who hesitated are dead—and burned beyond immediate identification.
