Carmel is an Israeli wine, that was the irony in it.

Today in 1937 at Lakehurst Naval Air Station in New Jersey the Hindenburg crashed.  When the Zeppelins were still running my mom's family would go to the beach and watch them go over Long Island Sound toward NY

 What a sad anniversary.  The first time I ever saw that footage, it was incorporated into an episode of The Waltons.   :chin:

Yes and on my actual birthday too.  Not as many people died in the accident as you may think only  35 of the 97 on board but it was spectacular

 I did not realize that.  It's amazing that so many survived!   :nerd!:

MSY is the airline designation for New Orleans.  The obvious initials were assigned/taken by an airport in South America (IIRC).  MSY stands for Moisant Stock Yards where the airport was built.  Moisant was an aviator who crashed his racing airplane there 12.31.1910.

BMW stands for Bayerische Motoren-Werk, "Bavarian Engine Factory". They first only made motorcycles.  :viking:
