There also would have had to be a very large leak of hydrogen before stern heaviness could be observed, although given the end result this seems obvious. The stern heaviness was also noticed minutes before the airship made its sharp turns for its approach, and crew members stated that it was corrected as the ship stopped (after dropping over 1000 kg of water ballast and venting gas). Additionally, the gas cells of the ship were not pressurized, and when leaking would not cause the fluttering of the outer cover, which wasn't seen until seconds before the fire. Instead, it has been suggested that such fluttering was caused by the initial blast wave of the hydrogen cells igniting.
