Comment
Zeppelin was an aerostatic vehicle full of hydrogen to make it lighter than air, using the same principle as hot air balloons, but with engines to move and drive it in the desired direction.Sadly is famous the exploding of the Graaf Von Zeppelin; disaster that ended the use of these vehicles as passenger and cargo service.
Currently, some are used with publicity purposes, but full with helium, that is not explosive.
