"Lakehurst, NJ: Thirty-five persons die and scores of others are injured as the mighty dirigible explodes three hundred feet over the landing field at the end of her first voyage of the season from Europe. A terrific burst of flame engulfs the stern of the ship and spreads with the rapidity of lightning to the bow. The inferno of blazing hydrogen gas cremates all living beings in its path, as the twisted skeleton of the balloon settles quickly to the ground. Rescue crews brave death to save sixty-three persons, some of them horribly burned." scenes of Hindenburg burning with narration.

The Tarantella refers to different southern Italian couple folk dances characterized by an upbeat tempo, usually in 6/8 time, accompanied by tambourines. It is among the most recognized of traditional Italian music. The specific dance name varies with every region, tammuriata in Campania, pizzica in the Salento region.

The term tarantella originally referred to an exorcism ritual in Greece from around 2000 BC, connected to the gods Dionysus and Apollo, the Greek gods of wine and music. It continued on in southern Italy, an area then known as Magna Grecia greater Greece.
