I was addressing "Airships just don't work in strong winds".
You subsequently shifted the goalposts.
There was no transatlantic passenger airplane travel until 1939. Two years after Hindenberg disaster. The comparison ... is largely pointless. Though given the lack of heavier-than-air transatlantic commercial passenger flight, and as a consequence, no heavier-than-air commercial passenger fatalities, if you insist on the comparison, airships still lose.
Passenger liner sea-based travel remained the principle mode of transatlantic crossing until the 1960s, with passenger air travel only becoming significant with the introduction of jet powered aircraft in the 1950s (and late 1950s at that).
You seem bent on insisting you're correct at the cost of denying all contradictory evidence. You fail to even acknowledge the points. Even where you have relevant points, they're lost due to that bias. That's strongly disengenuous, impugns credibility, is a bad look, and is quite frankly exceedingly tedious.

I'm done.
