1937年興登堡災(zāi)難的最后一位幸存者維爾納·古斯塔夫·多納上周在新罕布什爾州拉科尼亞的家中去世,享年90歲。
Doehner was born in Germany and was 8 when the airship burst into flames and crashed while docking in Lakehurst, New Jersey, on May 6, 1937, his obituary said. His father and sister were among the 35 people killed.

“We were close to a window, and my mother took my brother and threw him out. She grabbed me and fell back and then threw me out,” Doehner said in a rare interview in 2017. “She tried to get my sister, but she was too heavy, and my mother decided to get out by the time the zeppelin was nearly on the ground.”
“我們家離窗戶很近,我媽媽把我弟弟扔了出去。她抓住我,向后摔倒,然后把我扔了出去。”“她想把我妹妹弄過來,但是她太重了,我媽媽決定在飛艇快著陸的時候把她弄出來。”
Doehner, who died Nov. 8, was one of 62 passengers and crew to survive the disaster. He had burns to his face, both hands and down his right leg from the knee. He would remain in various hospitals for treatment and surgery until the following January.
