Former Oregon RB Onterrio Smith had a severe stroke in 2024. Now learning to walk again, he is reflecting on his complicated life.
From skinned knees on the streets of Del Paso Heights to the “Whizzinator” incident, this isn’t his first brush with pain. oregonlive.com/ducks/2026/05/…

89 years ago today, the largest aircraft ever built fell out of the sky in 32 seconds.
May 6, 1937. Lakehurst, New Jersey. The Hindenburg disaster.
The LZ 129 Hindenburg was the pride of Nazi Germany. 804 feet long. Almost the length of the Titanic. Three times longer than a Boeing 747. The largest rigid airship ever constructed, and the fastest way to cross the Atlantic in its day.
Passengers traveled in luxury that has never been matched in aviation since. An elegant dining room. A bar. A smoking lounge pressurized to keep flammable gases out. An aluminum piano. 25 cabins. Tail fins emblazoned with swastikas.
There was just one problem.
The Hindenburg was designed to fly on helium. But the United States had banned helium exports to Nazi Germany. So the Germans filled it with 7 million cubic feet of hydrogen instead. The most flammable gas in existence.
The ship left Frankfurt on May 3, 1937 carrying 36 passengers and 61 crew. Strong Atlantic headwinds delayed her arrival. Captain Max Pruss radioed Lakehurst that he would land at 6 PM instead of 6 AM.
At 7:25 PM the airship approached its mooring mast. Spectators gathered. Newsreel cameras rolled. Chicago radio reporter Herb Morrison stood on the field describing the landing for what was supposed to be a routine broadcast celebrating the first anniversary of transatlantic passenger service.
Then, without warning, an explosion consumed the tail.
The nose reared skyward. Flames raced through the body. The aluminum skeleton glowed through the burning skin. The entire 804 foot ship fell 200 feet and was incinerated in 32 seconds.
Herb Morrison’s voice cracked into history:
“It’s burst into flames! Get out of the way, please! It is burning, bursting into flames, and is falling on the mooring mast and all the folks. This is one of the worst catastrophes in the world. Oh, the humanity!”
35 people on the airship died. One ground crewman died. 62 somehow survived.
The cause has never been definitively proven. The leading theory is that a hydrogen leak met a static electricity spark from the wet mooring lines during the tight turn into landing. Hugo Eckener, the great airship commander, suspected structural stress on the aft frame may have torn a gas cell. Sabotage rumors persisted for decades. None were ever confirmed.
But the cause did not matter.
The footage mattered. For the first time in history, audiences in cinemas worldwide watched a disaster unfold on film. The age of mass media met the age of the airship and consumed it whole.
For 30 years, commercial zeppelins had carried tens of thousands of passengers more than a million miles across more than 2,000 flights without a single passenger injury. That record vanished in half a minute.
The Graf Zeppelin was retired two months later. Hydrogen passenger flights were banned. Both surviving zeppelins were dismantled in 1940, and their massive hangars blown up with dynamite on May 6 of that year. Three years to the day.
The airplane inherited the sky.
The mooring site at Lakehurst is still there. A bronze plaque marks where the gondola fell. Hangar No. 1, where she was supposed to rest that night, still stands as a National Historic Landmark.
Werner Doehner, the last living survivor, died in 2019. He was 8 years old when his mother threw him out a window of the burning ship.
The age of the giants ended on May 6, 1937. We have never built anything like the Hindenburg again.
