This is crazy stuff. I guess if you use bleeding edge tech, there are bound to be some caveats...

Aww, c’mon. If you weld next to the helium in the presence of a strong magnetic field, you might help create a breakthrough in nuclear fusion tech

At least helium doesn't explode.

Ironically, Herbert Morrison was actually referring to his previously mentioned "mass of humanity" that was milling about underneath the mooring point for the Hindenburg.
He wasn't referring to anyone on the blimp (the next four words are literally "and all the passengers", let alone the "general statement of humankind" or some such.
Only one guy on the ground died, and most of the people in the passenger cabin survived. A lot of them literally just stepped off the thing. A lot of the crew, not in the cabin, died from fire.JBI wrote:At least helium doesn't explode.
Two-Thirds (or abouts) of the people in the Hindenburg lived.
Virtually everyone in the Helium-lift USS Akron died (alright, alright from exposure/drowing because it went down over the sea).

What good is an accelerometer in freefall??
