I saw a documentary that delved into the paint used on the Hindenburg.  They claimed it included 
aluminum power and some other chemical (butyl?) that made it approximate rocket fuel.  They found a 
patch of material from the old Hindeburg, flame tested it, and it looked like a sparkler going off.

One point they made...hydrogen burns with a nearly invisible flame.  So the brightness for the 
Hindenburg fire suggests that something else was burning.

Apparently hydrogen floats upward so quickly, that when a gaseous release burns it doesn't do much 
damage at ground level.

So, don't paint your amps with aluminum power (there! on topic.)
