Is it possible for the hindenburg to not crash and Amelia Earheart circumnavigates?

I think one has to happen, but has anyone seen both happen?

[Dagoth Brain Made Of Tired]

yes

Both can happen, same with Rudolf Hess not surviving his flight.

You can have the gassy guy crash or not, and the classy lass vanish or not. If you increase air safety (via decision), you can guarantee the bag of hydrogen doesn't expand - yet. It is not forced to make one happen. They can both fail, as they seem to in most games.

This was always good to see in the old HoI parts. There you could see in the Events folder what chances the respective event had. The folders are nicely organized by nation and in the txt.file the events are sorted by number, not by name. player + chance what the AI answers or if it does not concern the player what the AI decides. Besides, you could practically determine the result by changing the ai_chance to 100. I always did this when I wanted to have a historical course, such as the “Anschluss of Austria” etc.

Too bad this is not available for HoI4. Or have I overlooked something?

You can still do this, though it takes a bit of detective work. The focus (or decision, or event) that triggers the event you want to change of course names the triggered event. Often the 1st part of the event name is the same as the file name that the code for the event is in. IIRC, all event files are in a folder called events. So once you know the name of the event you want to modify, it is fairly easy to find it.

The first Hindenburg crash can be avoided if Germany goes monarchy and takes the "Sharpen Air Safety Regulations" decision. This is also the first requirement to get Victoria as a country leader.

Earheart is entirely a coin toss; I have her survive in historical mode quite regularly though.

Amelia can survive and later she can become one of your ace pilots.
