The fact that ANYONE survived this would be unbelievable without the footage

Thank you!!! I'm glad I'm not the only one who wondered this. One of them jumped from so high, I don't understand how he got away!

Incredible! God is good. More people survived than died. Tragic. Great footage. Back in the day when we had real news reporting instead of newspapers trying to create the news.

0:35 that shot is so unreal and iconic. incredible footage at any time.

0:51 that man nearly made it out alive

[robertnicholls]

At 0:31, I don't think that guy is alive. You see him hit the ground hard.

1:00 that was helmsman Kurt Schönherr controlling the main rudder wheel in the control car

I am sorry, but the crewman that jumped from the bow that had to be at the very least 50ft is not the one you point to immediately after that's leads to believe he jumped right up almost immediately??
Right as you put the arrow on him "crewman jumping" if you look on the ground and a man is running right to left. There's nothing on the ground right then. After he jumps, you will see almost immediately someone there on the ground and one of their legs sticking up.. Just happens right that that exact moment someone closer in the foreground crosses the cameras line of sight going from left to right which also makes it hard to piece together visually. One last observation, when he jumps the nose is already beginning to fall. Make a straight line to the ground he would have somehow not only landed on he feet but also landed a good 10 to 12 feet to the right. Which is why you now see the leg sticking up at the spot where he should have and did hit the ground...

It’s really good. You missed the one last guy who stumbles out of the flames from about the middle of the zeppelin. But yeah, great breakdown.
