Robert C. Buchanan, is one of the last known living member of the civilian ground crew that awaited the Hindenburg.
Along with the Titanic sinking in 1912 and the Space Shuttle Challenger exploding in 1986, the Hindenburg burning and crashing is one of the three most famous passenger craft disasters of the 20th century.

Seventysix years ago, the hydrogen-filled Hindenburg ignited while easing toward its mooring mast at the U.S. Navy base in Lakehurst. The blaze killed 35 people on board and one person in the ground crew; 62 passengers and crew members survived.
Bound from Frankfurt, Germany, it was a luxury liner in the air. It had a lounge with a baby grand piano made out of aluminum, so as not to affect the weight of the hydrogen-filled airship, and a pressurized room for smokers.

I used his private address from Charlottesville, VA. It took 21 days to get an answer to my request
