From the moment the first hot-air balloon took flight in 1783, airships and the promise of flight have captured the human imagination. Of course, hot-air balloons can only go where the wind takes them so it wasn't long before people began designing steerable versions, leading to the development of airships.

In 1852, Jules Henri Giffard launched his revolutionary airship, covering 17 miles. That set the groundwork for Ferdinand von Zeppelin, who built the first Zeppelin in 1900. But there was one problem: airships are incredibly dangerous. Massive bags of floating gas that are just an ill-timed spark away from catastrophe, disaster often tuck, leading to terrible loss of life. Here are the deadliest airship accidents in history.
