What is the name of the zeppelin blimp that blew up because of the hydrogen?
That was the Hindenberg, which crashed in Lakehurst, NJ. Though people believed the hydrogen was the cause of the crash, a lightning strike is said to have ignited the paraffin wax coating the lining of the balloon part of the ship allowing the gas to escape and a loss of buoyancy. Hydrogen leaving through the tear in the fabric caught fire, but that part of the fire didn't really cause any additional harm. It did, however provide light making visible the crash and thus making it look more horrifying than it would look in darkness.
