Rest In Peace to them all.
You can't breathe if you are engulfed in fire and everything takes a back seat to not being able to breathe even burning pain. They were poorly sealed and the hoses weren't fire proof. When the fire sucked all the oxygen , it probably took theirs too, their suits failed. By the time the fire stopped their suits were ruptured and melted. When they started screaming, shivers down my spine!"WE'RE BURNING UP, AAAAHHHH!!!" That scream is not pain, it is sheer horror . R.I.P the crew on board
May they rest in peace
Such horrific deaths in the space program continued for decades. May they all RIP 😢🙏
My father kept the Life magazine of this tragedy behind a glass picture frame, he gave it to me before he passed away.
Life, Look and Time were how we saw the world when we were young in the 50s and 60s.
@0:20 --That is **AMAZING** clarity for a 1967 photo, even if superimposed over a blurry background. 👀
There were great cameras back then; they just weren't digital.
Rip:
Gus Grissom, April 3, 1926-January 27, 1967 (aged 40)
Roger Chaffee, February 15, 1935-January 27, 1967 (aged 31)
Ed White, November 14, 1930-January 27, 1967 (aged 36)
It makes me sad to know how avoidable this was...the engineers were like children playing with gasoline and risking other peoples lives in the process. It was a known and avoidable risk.
This happened seven years before i was born, and didn’t learn about Apollo 1 until the Challenger disaster when the news briefly mentioned it. Until then, I had no idea that astronauts had died before.
It was too depressing to talk about. How many youngsters are told now about the Challenger? I don’t know about Apollo 1 disaster until after I read Tom Wolfe’s 🐺 book 📕 “The Right Stuff”. There is a superb movie 🎥 based on the book 📕 with the same title. I highly recommend reading 📖 the book and watching the movie 🍿.
I remember when this happened. It truly was a very sad day!
Rest easy fellas❤🕯🕯🕯🇺🇲
Sadly, Ed White’s widow never got over the tragedy, and committed suicide.
Virgil “Gus” Grissom was the top guy of the Moonshot project… he was meant to be the first man on the moon..
Thanks. His was the only name I recognized
I didn't know that... this makes his death even sadder!! 😢
I heard that he was NASA's finest astronaut at the time and I think he also became the first astronaut to go into space twice.
My favourite astronaut. He seemed to find the bugs though almost drowning in the mercury program.
He was indeed the Top Gun, a WWII, and Korean War Veteran, as well as a bad ass U.S. Air Force Test Pilot (where NASA usually cherry picked their first groups of Astronauts from). He was the second American in Space as part of the Mercury Program, and the second American to go into space twice under Gemini.
Tragic 😢
I taught for 35.5 years at Ed White Middle School.
That is sad.
God bless those who put they're lives on the line to advance human kind, they are true heroes.
Didn't Gus hang a lemon on the capsule ?
You’re only saying this cause you recently saw JRE lol
Mankind would never have gotten out of the caves if it were not for trying, accidents are part of the fuel that drives man’s curiosity👍
Dang, that last part of your comment was deep.
Even as a young 12 year old in the late 1960s my friends and I made pure oxygen using electrolysis using batteries and a neighbors model train transformer. We would burn various things in jars containing the oxygen and some just simply exploded...even broke the jar sometimes. None of us, even at that age would have knowing gone into a pure oxygen environment!!! You did what? And what happened?
These three guys: It should have been us. BTW, who's to blame on that incident?
What happened to their bodies?
Let me save you some time:
1. They were asphyxiated, not burned to death (their burns were survivable).
2. Gus Grissom and Roger Chaffee were buried at Arlington National Cemetery.
3. After astronaut Frank Borman (who was handling the arrangements for Ed White) intervened and stopped an attempt by NASA officials to bully Ed White’s widow into ignoring his expressed desire to be buried at West Point and have him buried at Arlington with Grissom and Chaffee (so as to not inconvenience Lyndon Johnson, who wanted to attend all three funerals), White was buried at West Point - with First Lady Lady Bird Johnson in attendance.
The difference between Apollo I and Apollo XIII was the service module failed XIII.
It's better if I don't even think about it!
9 Day’s Ago.

Rest in peace
Wasn't it in vain, though...? 🤔
Fix Earth’s problems then go to the moon or Mars.
46th
WHY DON"T YOU VIEWERS POINT OUT GROSS ERRORS IN THESE SUPPOSEDLY "EXPERT" VIDEOS??? They died because White could NOT get the hatch open. These robot voices give these crappy videos away as garbage. The scripts are terrible, and filled with mistakes. Seriously!
*Taken out for not wanting to go along with the HOAX!!! R.I.P!*
Hurr Durr it must be painful being that stupid.
Dumbass comment.
What? IDIOT
Huh?
Facts!
God bless those who put they're lives on the line to advance human kind, they are true heroes.
