Expert Witness 1: Dr. Hugo Eckener

Picture

While conducting your investigation you stumble upon an expert witness named Dr. Hugo Eckener.  Dr. Eckener was not at the explosion the night the Hindenburg was lost.  He is known as the father or the German airship.  Hugo was awoken early in the morning to the news that the airship was lost.  The only explanation he could come up with at that time was sabotage.  But, as he learned more about the disaster, particularly that the airship had burned rather than actually "exploding," he grew more and more convinced that perhaps something like a static discharge, rather than sabotage, was the actual culprit.  Could it have been sabotage?
