Hindenburg
The Hindenburg was a German dirigible (rigid frame blimp) or zeppelin operating in the mid-1930s that was destroyed by fire due to an explosion in 1937. Its destruction was captured by newsreel, and a famous radio broadcast narration by Herb Morrison at the Lakehurst Naval Air Station.
The Hindenburg begins to fall seconds after catching fire.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindenburg_disaster
