Hindenburg disaster

The enigma surrounding the Hindenburg disaster has captivated the public imagination for over eight decades. On May 6, 1937, the German airship, LZ 129 Hindenburg, erupted in flames and crashed while attempting to dock at the Naval Air Station Lakehurst in New Jersey, USA. The tragedy claimed the lives of 36 people and marked the end of the era of commercial airship travel.





Despite numerous investigations, the cause of the disaster remains a subject of speculation and debate. The initial assumption was that a spark from the airship's engines ignited the highly flammable hydrogen gas used for lift, causing the explosion. However, subsequent research suggests that the ignition was caused by static electricity discharge resulting from a buildup of electrical charge in the atmosphere.


The Hindenburg disaster was a turning point in the history of aviation, leading to the abandonment of airships in favor of airplanes. Nevertheless, the mystery surrounding the tragedy continues to intrigue people, and various theories and conspiracy theories have been put forth to explain what happened that fateful day.

But, as we know, every State has a Constitution which defines the organization and powers of its various organs and departments. In this sense, there is a Constitution in England as in every other country. But it is not wholly unwritten. It comprises two parts. the written part which includes the three elements viz., the Constitutional Charters , the Statutes and the Judicial Decisions and the unwritten part which includes the

CONVENTIONS OF THE BRITISH CONSTITUTION

Convention is a rule of political behaviour, first established to cope with a specific problem, which becomes a precedent for all subsequent political actions and relations between various organs of the government. It is the unwritten rule of political ethics as sacred as law but not enforceable by the courts. Dicey has defined the Conventions as the "rules for determining the mode in which the discretionary powers of the Crown ought to be exercised." Ogg defines Conventions as "understandings, habits or practices or usages or customs which, by their sole authority, regulate a large proportion of the actual day—to—day relations and activities of even the most important of the Public Authorities." The uniqueness of the British Constitution is that it is run by Conventions more than most other written Constitutions. Though these Conventions are unwritten, yet these are understood with great exactness and followed scrupulously by the Ministers and others. CONVEN
