Or you could turn your sound down so the rest of us can listen to this interesting info?

@@mitchb2305 ; music is still too loud. There’s no getting around it!

@@nealsausen4651 -- Sorry Neal, I read that wrong. You want the music turned down. Thought you wanted the talk turned down, my mistake.

@@mitchb2305 : no problem, Mitch! No… the narrative was very interesting and informative and necessary. I learned a lot as I’m sure you have too! I just thought Music I thought was a little over bearing nothing all that serious anyway take care and “up ship.”!

At least they had on board heating.😆😆

Are they though? If a plane crashes, everyone on board will usually die. With an airship however, depending on the severity of the accident, almost all of the passengers can survive. And in the early days of these ships, hundreds and hundreds of planes were crashed as in that time, they were neither as efficient nor as safe. Sure, many ships went down too, and you might think they had the worst safety record of any type of possible transportation method, but this is not the case at all. Since when the crashes did happen near the mainland many people were often watching. Compare ww1 zeppelins with ww1 submarines which had far more casualties as a result of exploding even when not being hit by an projectile or a zeppelin bomb. So when submarines did sink, (many did sink too) no one was watching obviously and there was no hope for any of them to survive unless the sub was near enough to the surface.

TL:DR Both airships, submarines and planes in their early days had many losses, though still many people consider airships to be particularly unsafe because of how dramatized their accidents were or how much more attention they received.
