The newsreels and photographs, along with Morrison's passionate reporting shattered public and industry faith in airships and marked the end of the giant passenger-carrying airships.

Heavier-than-air aircraft regularly crossed the Atlantic and Pacific much faster than the 130 km/h (80 mph) speed of the "Hindenburg". The one advantage that the "Hindenburg" had over such aircraft was the comfort that she afforded her passengers.
