Take a look back at the workers who built metal giants that inexplicably fly.

Zeppelins have become a somewhat forgotten piece in the history of air travel. That’s a shame because these things look awesome. It’s one thing to make planes, which are fast and agile but if we’re being real, planes are just copying what birds have been doing for years. Zeppelins are an entirely unique thing. It’s as though people thought, “Let’s mix together a steel skyscraper and a ship, shape it like a bullet, and then make it fly." It’s too bad they’re not still around, all just because a few of them famously crashed and caused horrific chaos.
