THE AIRSHIP DISASTER
SABOTAGE SUSPECTED STATEMENT BY A COMMANDER NEW YORK, June l lß. (Received June 18, at 11.15 p.m.) A message from Lakehurst says that the commander of the air station, Commander Rosendahl, addressing the American Air Planning Council, stated that the suspicion that the Hindenburg had been sabotaged had not been dispelled. The airship arrived 12 hours late, and the saboteurs possibly timed the bomb to explode after the passengers had left the airship. He expressed the opinion that dirigible development had not ended, and urged the United States and Britain to adopt airship programmes, declaring that both could use dirigibles for wartime reconnaissance.
