Hindenburg indeed killed hydrogen blimps. Of everything else on your list, the disaster was in the minority. The space shuttle was the most lethal other item -- there are lots of cruise ships, oil rigs, nuke plants, and jet planes that have not blown up.

So what analogy with AI are you trying to make? The straightforward one would be that there will be some toxic and dangerous LLMs (cough Grok cough), but that there will be many others that do their jobs as designed, and that LLMs in general will be a common technology going forward.
