There was a pretty good writeup someone posted here (maybe you) not long ago explaining precisely that, and it was rather compelling. The evidence for sabotage was circumstantial (expected whenever you try to investigate something 100 years after the fact) but the fact that the tragedy was largely invented and accelerated by media propagandists - as they do with everything - is without question. I believe the clip was actually fake/broadcast before the actual casualty numbers were known. Then it was spliced together with later footage in newsreels shown at the theater to kill the airship industry.
Almost 100 years ago, we had a form of transport that could fly around the world at almost no cost beyond the maintenance of the vessel, and we gave it up because one utterly sensationalized, propagandized, completely unexplained accident that two thirds of the passengers survived, that was reported on by some totally unknown guy who it seems never reported on anything else before or after.
You don't think that's a little fucking strange?
Even if you think sabotage wasn't the cause, how is anything else even remotely deniable?
You do know that cruise ships still exist and go slower than shit. Sorry your argument is dumb, Bikes, trains, lots of other forms of transport still have massive use though faster "better" methods exist. Even after the Titanic people still used passenger ships. It seems there was a concerted effort to kill that industry using one not so tragic tragedy to do so.
That clip is oil industry propaganda and the Hindenburg disaster was oil industry sabotage.

Can't have the Kaiser's Eyes in the Sky floating over the Channel now can we?
Sounds interesting, could you send me the link to that post? I have never thought of that before.
