There is an interesting article about the Hindenburg that if I can find it I will repost. It basically said that the hydrogen in the Hindenburg propably vented into the atmosphere and contributed little if any to the fire. It said that what burned was the skin of the blimp itself. It was painted silver to control the heating of the envelope by the sun. The paint was made with the same materials found in rocket fuels. Furthermore, it speculated that the hydrogen wouldn't have burned that quickly.
For what it's worth...
