I've never seen the actual negatives of the
Hindenburg disaster but doubt very much they were shot on pack film.

I thought I'd read somewhere that they were shot by people who didn't
use the second sheet of film, just exposed one sheet per holder under
conditions where every sheet counted and remembering which sheet was
exposed might be a problem.

Thought it was posted here, but I could be wrong.
