The cause of the disaster has been a mystery for 75 years, with various theories including sabotage, explosion, sparks, or a hydrogen leak. A team of scientists and engineers is working on building replicas of the Hindenburg and conducting tests to investigate each theory. The replicas are built to scale and will be used to recreate different catastrophic scenarios to compare them with the original disaster.
