Bureau of sir Cormerce Investigation Board Naval air Station Ilakehurst, N. J. Dear Sir: In your communication of May 24, re ~ information regarding the available facts, conditions and circumstances, relating to the accident to the LZ Hindenburg, I would like to say, being that I was a Passenger, that: I was at the time of the first Explosion, on the window furthest up toward the Nese of the Ship, in the Diningroom, facing the Hancar, taking a Photograph of the Grounderew, With the sudden- hess of the whole thinz, there was no time for me to observe, just where the whole thing was happening or where it started from, from the way we were rising for a second and from the reflection of the explosion on the ground, I could imagine that we had gone up in flames, I jumped out from a great height and when I landed on the ground ran off without looking back, thus at no time, did I see any flames, nor do I have the slightest idea, nor could I have, toward the solution of the accident. My wife, who was standings on the ground, however was able to see the first flames shoot out toward the stern of the Hinden- bure with the rest followine up in a few seconds, This is all the information I can -zive, sincerely, (Si-ned) Joseph Spach Douslaston, Lone Island, N. Y.
