Zeppelins over Manhattan

Zeppelins reached their zenith at the beginning of the 1930s, when the airships Graf Zeppelin and Hindenburg operated regular transatlantic flights between Germany and both North and South America. Zeppelins flew frequently over Manhattan, as silent monsters floating over the skyscrappers. Even the metal-plated tower on top of the Empire State building was planned as a zeppelin port. In the following video you will see the Hinderburg zeppeling flying over New York, just some minutes before the famous disaster:
