        Wow. A metaphor for the current state. Unless I am reading too much into this, combined with a copious amounts of a lovely Pinot Noir.

        My father was a nine year old boy living in Jersey City, saw it fly overhead so close he could see the big swastikas painted on the tail fins.

        Amazing photo - thank you for sharing. It brings back memories of my late father telling me about seeing the Hindenburg over the city that day.

        Imagine something, roughly the size of the RMS Titanic gracefully floating overhead. I believe thoughts of it mooring atop the Empire State Building were once entertained. I've also seen a pic of the Hindenburg as it travelled over Yale University. Truly magnificent!

        Just imagine how much more deadly the event would have been had it been trying to moor above the streets of NY.

        I believe they ultimately concluded that it's just too windy atop King Kong's favourite hangout. 😄
