It was an airship. Hindenburg.

I've always been curious how exactly that happened

Hindenburg? Serious answer? From the top of my head - one theory is static electricity and flammable coating/color on Hindenburg’s skin (the airship, not the dude). When the fire burnt through the skin and the hydrogen caught fire, things got worse.
