Days after the explosion, Hitler banned the flight of all hydrogen filled airships. Although German Zeppelins had been safe and doing well up until the Hindenburg explosion; the disaster signaled the end of passenger travel by dirigible. Steady improvements in airplanes had already cut down on dirigible travel and airships like the Hindenburg would soon become just a footnote in aviation history.
