hindenburg

Oh, the Hindenburg is a bad analogy as it's purpose wasn't to target people from the sky to kill, it was an accident.

Of what came after, I'd say the CDU is closest to what von Hindenburg stood for, although it's still a stretch.

Running a public, for-profit website for years without generating a single usable backup is a fireworks-party-on-the-hindenburg class of mistake.

A flight on the Hindenburg was more luxurious than flying in an airplane has ever been.

A one-way Hindenburg ticket cost something like $450 in the 1930s, which is over $7000 now.

In 1930, President Hindenburg assumed dictatorial emergency powers, leading towards the end of the constitution and the start of Nazi Germany in 1933.

For example, the United States refused to sell helium to Nazi Germany -- which is why the airship Hindenburg was filled with hydrogen.

Still, Hitler was able to convince president Hindenburg to name him chancellor.

Now, if Google is going to be using Hydrogen instead of Helium in their balloons like the Hindenburg then you would have a point.

In the comparison with military drones, you might as well say you don't want to see Google's balloons because the Hindenburg was such a disaster.

Wait, are you using the Hindenburg as the worse outcome?

Von Hindenburg was certainly no moderate socialist of any kind.

For example, he writes "Paul Von Hindenberg" when he means "Paul von Hindenburg".

Yes, I know, "Hindenburg", but we've learned how to fly safely in airplanes full of fuel.

"Failure mode more like a fireworks factory burning, than the Hindenburg exploding"

Saying things like "nuclear is unsafe because of Chernobyl / Three Mile Island / Fukushima" is like saying "Air travel is unsafe because of the Hindenburg disaster".

Hindenburg was certainly not a socialist.

The extremely strict monetary policies of German president Hindenburg, a reaction to the hyperinflation of a few years before him, caused a deflationary recession that directly preceded the rise of Hitler.

Germany only became democratic after the 1st world war, had totally unstable governments, a head of state who openly did not believe in democracy (Hindenburg), the great depression hit and SA troops were beating people up in the streets.
