An interesting analogy considering the evidence of the airplane’s role in regard to observed changes in atmospheric chemistry.

But all analogies are like that...they need people to squint so details go fuzzy and merge.

The Zeppelin is an equally plausible aircraft analogy. Theoretically it is possible for nothing to go wrong when taking dependencies on a quarter million hand sewn cow intestines.

Considering that the Hindenberg was destroyed by a bomb sneaked on board, the analogy is pretty good. The flames seen in the film were kerosene fuel ignited by the bomb. Humans have a way of causing their own disasters, when technical risks fail to deliver.

And, more than 2/3 aboard at the time survived. Hard to say where this fits into any proposed analogy.
