Notable Appearances in Media
- Footage of Hindenburg is shown in the 1937 film Charlie Chan at the Olympics, which depicts Chan on board for a flight across the Atlantic to attend the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin. The film was released on May 21, 1937, just 15 days after the wreck.
- The image of the burning airship was used as the cover of Led Zeppelin's self-titled debut album (1969).
- The Hindenburg is a 1975 film inspired by the disaster, but centered around the sabotage theory. Some of these plot elements were based on real bomb threats before the flight began, as well as proponents of the sabotage theory.

Famous quotes containing the words notable, appearances and/or media:
“a notable prince that was called King John;
And he ruled England with main and with might,
For he did great wrong, and maintained little right.”
—Unknown. King John and the Abbot of Canterbury (l. 2–4)
“It is doubtless wise, when a reform is introduced, to try to persuade the British public that it is not a reform at all; but appearances must be kept up to some extent at least.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“Never before has a generation of parents faced such awesome competition with the mass media for their children’s attention. While parents tout the virtues of premarital virginity, drug-free living, nonviolent resolution of social conflict, or character over physical appearance, their values are daily challenged by television soaps, rock music lyrics, tabloid headlines, and movie scenes extolling the importance of physical appearance and conformity.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
