Topic 13: The Return of the Zeppelin


The explosion of Hindenburg had brought tremendous impacts on both demand and supply of Zeppelin. Subsequently, people had apprehension of riding Zeppelin; as a result of they were afraid identical accident might happen again. Fortunately, nowadays, Zeppelin started getting back consumers' trust by having better quality and safety. I will consider both Zeppelin and Airship Venture are oligopolies, because the competition of airship is so small that Zeppelin Airship Venture are capable of dominating the market. Well... Airship travel seems very interesting to me, but I guess I will only ride once... personally, I think even though Zeppelin might be one of the biggest airship company in the world, airship is not something that people will like to ride many times... even though the company has strengthened airship's quality, people, like me, might need have concern about its safety... and will not be willing to spend money on risking our lives. But if today I am at age of 60 something, I will probably wish to ride on it, because at that time, death will not seem to be a big concern to me. And yep, I think most of adults or teenagers will still think taking airplane is safer.
