Wasn't the dope on the fabric aluminum oxide powder or some such? Somewhat like
a termite reaction?

The Hindenberg burned with a visible flame. That is not
hydrogen. And hydrogen is _so_ light it is tricky to get it to
stick around long enough to burn.
My research suggests the dope on the fabric outside of the
Hindenberg is the cause of the fire. Seems it was effectively
solid rocket fuel!
Still a tragedy, but hydrogen is not to blame.
Meanwhile, those light and tiny atoms are hard to store 'cause
they leak out everywhere.
