1st Voice Over: Meanwhile for Ferdinand von Zeppelin, the year 1908 was a year of triumph. (Cut to interior of a zeppelin. A party. Expensively dressed guests. Champagne. A palm court orchestra playing. Some guests looking out of the windows in wonderment.)Von Bulow: (approaching Zeppelin) Herr Zeppelin – it’s wonderful! It’s put ballooning right back on the map. (Zeppelin goes instantly berserk with anger.)Zeppelin: It’s not a balloon! D’you hear?… It’s not a balloon … It’s an airship … an airship … d’you hear? (He hits him very hard on the top of the head with the underside of his fist.)Von Bulow: Well, it’s very nice anyway. Tirpitz:(to Zeppelin) Tell me, what is the principle of these balloons? Zeppelin: It’s not a balloon! You stupid little thick-headed Saxon git! It’s not a balloon! Balloons is for kiddy-winkies. If you want to play with balloons, get outside. (Drags Tirpitz over to the door, opens it and flings him out into the clouds.)Tirpitz: Aaaaaaaaaghhh!
When the Hindenburg burst into flames, didn’t the radio announcer watching the tragedy say “Oh! The insanity! The insanity!” I’ve seen a film of it somewhere.
