- voakbasda 5y agoFlying bombs that are being controlled remotely. And we know there’s no possible way that a hacking or ransomware group could exploit that channel and fly it into a couple of towers, right? Inconceivable!!
- ncmncm 5y agoA gas bag that bumped into a building would bounce off. Or rip and the hydrogen shoot up to the sky. So, no, not especially conceivable. Or plausible.

- 3pt14159 5y agoSo are airplanes? And other things, like literal bombs and missiles?
- nwah1 5y agoYes, 9/11 proved that.
- ncmncm 5y agoExcept, they are not flying bombs. Notably, the only people killed when the Hindenberg blew were on board. And, fewer than half of them. The flames in the film were the (very flammable!) gas bag itself and the kerosene fuel. The escaping gas went up and away. A modern craft would not be made of readily flammable material.

That the craft is made out of flammable material is debunked: https://www.airships.net/hindenburg/disaster/myths/#flammable-cover https://www.airships.net/hindenburg/disaster/myths/#flammabl...
- Dylan16807 5y ago> The "nobody died from the hydrogen" line is debunked I don't see that claim in the comments you're replying to.
