The last remaining survivor of the Hindenburg disaster, Werner Gustav Doehner, has died at age 90.
“He did not talk about it,” said his son Bernie Doehner. “It was definitely a repressed memory. He lost his sister, he lost his dad.” As the Hindenburg arrived, flames began to flicker on top of the airship. Hydrogen, exposed to air, fueled an inferno.He said his mother threw him and his brother out of the ship before she left too.They suffered burns.
