Comments on: The Hindenburg and Humanity http://www.damninteresting.com/the-hindenburg-and-humanity/ A collection of legitimately fascinating information culled from the past, present, and anticipated future.

Sure, Max Rose and Winn Farrow might have existed, but I don't believe that Winn Farrow set off any rocket. It's just too far fetched. Just a theory to me (and one that has to include crazy time travel and that sort of thing). In the book, Winn Farrow sets off the rocket, but though that may have happened, it's more likely there was lightning or another natural cause.

I saw that too when watching it on the internet. I also read the Pendragon book The Never War by D.J. MacHale and his theory is very realistic considering the rocket looking flare thing. It could have been the misile that Winn Farrow set off from his book. How could people not question that rocket? It was so obvios. Or maybe it was like you said Mr Studworthy, a flare signaling Winn Farrow when to launch the rocket. But then again, who knows? Humanity probobly never will. I aggree with you Mr Studworthy.

Nowadays they don't show that part, but just before and then skips to just after. I have always thought that this is what started the blaze and could never understand why anyone would think it was something else. Seems that a little rewriting of history has gone on for the masses.

Stupid conspiracy theories and wild conjecture is not. don't muddy up the waters of DI with such crap. At least show some respect to the time and effort put into these articles by the authors. If you want spoof-laden material, go elsewhere. Pendragon #3 might be a good book, but it's FICTION...got it?! Facts and true accounts of things posted on this site are interesting.
