Government involved? Remember the R100 and R101 disaster!

I saw them mentioned in another thread, but didn't see any in depth discussion. I'd love to see a solid documentary cover the 101 disaster, I never even heard of it until 2015 when Iron Maiden released their song about it.

Iron Maiden wrote a song about it? I'm going to have to make a post on what are you listening to now.
