Mayor Small humorously said on his social media platforms … Ladies and Gentlemen … We live … We lit … We outside … on Bader Field … and, BAM, The Goodyear Blimp is in the great City of Atlantic City .… some of our crazy staff … that’s why I’m over here … I was never going up, said Mayor Small.

NOTE: Full disclosure,  I would make the same decision as Mayor Small and not fly on The Goodyear Blimp.

No Disrespect Intended — I know The Goodyear Blimp Has A Great Safety Record & Exceptional Pilots

The Hindenburg Crashed In New Jersey on May 6, 1937

Earlier this day, The Hindenburg flew right over Atlantic City.

Just a short time later, on May 6, 1937, The Hindenburg plummeted to the ground in a fiery crash with 97 passengers and crew members on board.

36 people died in the airship crash.

This is another example of how many historic things have touched Atlantic City.

In 1937, you weren't considered to be a major entertainment star until you posted the world famous Steel Pier.

The Hindenburg flying over Atlantic City in 1937 would not be a surprise, as Atlantic City and The Steel Pier were iconic the world over.
