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.
Hydrogen was used in blimps and other floating things like weather balloons in the early 1900s. Until the Hindenburg disaster, where a hydrogen filled blimp blew up. This is because hydrogen is flammable. Now they use helium because it is also lighter than air, so it floats, but also because Helium is not flammable (and is actually flame retardant.)
There are tons of volcanoes that blew up!!
Volcanoes are flat because their eruption was so powerful it blew itself up like Yellowstone park
Hawaii's volcanos are quite compared to Mt St Helens because Mt St Helens blew up from a earthquake of two plates shifting making the volcano vary voilent and loud which blew one half of the volcano
the male volcano got its name arenal because every time a guy walked by he blew
Absolutely not! It is extremely flammable. Ever heard of the Hindenburg Blimp that blew up? That was because the hydrogen ignited. Also, if hydrogen couldn't ignite, there would be no water because water is formed by combustion.

It was a blimp. The German's just before WW2 had one called the Hindenburg, a passenger ship, that blew up as it was coming into New Jersey from Germany. You can see film of it. One man died, but it looks like the entire blimp is one big ball of fire.
The solar wind.
On Thursday, May 6, 1937, the German passenger airship LZ 129 Hindenburg attempted to dock with its mooring mast at the Lakehurst Naval Air Station, New Jersey, with 97 passengers aboard, when it caught fire and was destroyed. As a result of the incident, 35 passengers were killed and one person on the ground. For newsreel footage of the Hindenburg and of the disaster, see the related link.
Static electricity discharge ignited the hydrogen cells.
It was filled with hydrogen which is flammable. There was a malfunction and the gas caught fire and blew up.
They discontinued it because it blew.
