Of course, there was sensational news coverage of the disaster, as well as several hypotheses as to the cause of the ignition. The disaster is not only famous for it ending the airship transportation era, but the broadcast of the disaster by Herbert Morrison, with his phrase "Oh, the humanity!" becoming a staple in pop culture!
