Yes and no. The Hindenburg caught on fire just outside Lakehurst, NJ when it attempted to dock at its mooring station on May 6, 1937. It did not "blow up" or explode, although many stories describe this. What did occur was a very rapid fire that engulfed the airship that was started by the ignition of the hydrogen gas used inside for lift. The disaster was eventually blamed on the fabric covering its structure more than the use of the hydrogen gas used to provide lift.
Yes, it was trying to dock at the Lakehurst Naval Air Station, which is next to the borough of Lakehurst, New Jersey.
