The idea of taking vision to other countries through aviation was just a dream in the 1800s.
But in the early 20th century, the LZ-1 Zeppelin, designed by Ferdinand Graf Von Zeppelin, took flight, entering a whole new world of air travel. The LZ-1 consisted of 399,000 cubic feet of hydrogen in 17 gas cells made of rubberized cotton fabric.
She had traveled 3.7 miles in 17 minutes in the air until one of its engines broke. The wind soon caused the LZ-1 to perform an emergency landing. This was only the start of what would become one of the most monumental air disasters of all time
