Jr: Let's watch a video by a YouTuber called Mustard, and the video is about Airships, but it's not your particular blimp you see everyday

Bakuhoe: What's so damn special about it, Smiley Freak

Jr: You'll see, Bakuhoe

The video starts with the Queen Mary as the narrator speaks.

Melissa: Is that the R.M.S. Queen Mary?

Jr: Yep

Imagine something the size of an ocean liner, that floats in the sky.

Katsuma: Mom, what's an ocean liner

Della: Basically a cruise ship, but a non-stop trans-atlantic based trip, Donald does know sailing after all

The screen then moves up to show the Airship.

Everyone was surprised to see an airship as big as a cruise ship.

Everyone: THAT'S A BIG BLIMP

Della: Actually it would be called a Zeppelin, but that works

With amenities like piano lounges, dining rooms and private staterooms, they were a luxurious way to travel the world. 80 years ago,

Jr: Between the 1800-1900s by Germany

Everyone: WHAT?!?!

we had airships. Cruising 200 meters above the ground, they flew so smoothly, you could stand a pencil on its end without it falling over.

Momo: B-but how can these zeppelins be so massive in the past?

Huey: It's not very surprising since we did see and went on some before

Eri: (Gasp) YOU WENT ON AN AIRSHIP, I WANNA RIDE ONE

Della: You'll get to soon

Kota: No fair, I wanna ride one

Mahoro: Me too

Katsuma: It seems fun to be on an airship

Della: Yeah yeah, will all be joining with Candy Apple

Eri: Huh

Della: You know, because you love candy apples and you are cute when you first try one, also I found that nickname cute for you

Eri: (Blushes) M-MOM

And plans were being drawn up for even bigger, more luxurious airships. Until this happened.

The screen then shows old footage of the Hindenburg burning as it crashes to the ground in flames.

Everyone was shocked.

The whole world watched in horror as one burned to the ground in front rolling cameras. And giant airships, well, they seemingly disappeared overnight.

The screen then shows the title of the video: WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GIANT AIRSHIPS?

All for One: Wait, so these "Airships" no longer exist because of one accident?

Dewey: Not just because of that, you know, Airships are fun

First taking flight in 1936, the Hindenburg was, and still is, the largest object to ever fly. And it's scale is simply awe inspiring.
