Expert Witness 4: Dr. Robert von Hanrahausen

Dr. von Hanrahausen thinks some sort of hydrogen leak prior to the fire is what caused the airship to remain stern-heavy before landing. He also believes that the stern-heavy leaning could have been caused by a massive leak of hydrogen gas, which started mixing with air and filling up the space between the skin and the cells.  Dr. von Hanrahausen believes that a static spark or some other kind of ignition set off the accumulated gas.
