What happened to the Hindenburg Airship?

The Hindenburg airship, a German passenger airship, famously caught fire and was destroyed during its attempt to dock in Lakehurst, New Jersey, on May 6, 1937. The disaster resulted in the deaths of 36 people, including passengers and crew, and was attributed to a combination of highly flammable hydrogen gas and an electrical spark.
