The famous (and greatest) rock band Led Zeppelin owes its name (and its album covers) to a tragic accident that occurred on May 6, 1937. On that day, the LZ 129 Hindenburg (which owes its name to Marshal Paul von Hindenburg, President of the Weimar Republic from 1925) caught fire. Result: 35 dead out of 97 passengers. Death also of the zeppelins. Trust is broken.
