Origin[]
The Hindenburg disaster was an airship accident that occurred on May 6, 1937, in Manchester Township, New Jersey, United States. The LZ 129 Hindenburg (Luftschiff Zeppelin #129; Registration: D-LZ 129) was a German commercial passenger-carrying rigid airship, the lead ship of the Hindenburg class, the longest class of flying machine and the largest airship by envelope volume. It was designed and built by the Zeppelin Company (Luftschiffbau Zeppelin GmbH) and was operated by the German Zeppelin Airline Company (Deutsche Zeppelin-Reederei). It was named after Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg, who was President of Germany from 1925 until his death in 1934. It caught fire and was destroyed during its attempt to dock with its mooring mast at Naval Air Station Lakehurst. The accident caused 35 fatalities (13 passengers and 22 crewmen) from the 97 people on board (36 passengers and 61 crewmen), and an additional fatality on the ground.
A few of the items that survived the disaster were sent back to the families of the victims, one of the items, a camera roll, was developed. Fifteen photos were developed, with one appearing to show someone looking out the window, moments before the disaster. The photograph was given to the Nazi party for evidence, but quickly thrown out, when it was clear there was no important information to be gleaned from the photo. It fell into the hands of Adolf Ziegler, a German painter tasked with removing art that the Nazi party deemed "degenerate".
Effects[]
Touching the photograph causes the victim to burst into flames, if not neutralized the picture will continue to heat up the area, melting girders. Kept in a glass lined frame. When not touched, the ambient area around the photograph will have a uncomfortably temperature of 80 F/26 C, not effecting non-organic material.
Last Known Location[]
The photograph was last in the possession of Adolf Ziegler, after 1938, it fell off the map. Supposedly in a cache of lost art related artifacts, which it's current whereabouts are unknown.
