Astronauts Virgil I. Grissom, Edward White and Roger Chaffee were killed tonight during [?] of the Apollo Saturn 204 vehicle at Cape Kennedy | |
The fire occurred while the astronauts were in the spacecraft during the countdown of a simulated flight test | |
The accident occurred at 5:31 [?] time | |
Or at T-10 minutes to the planned, simulated liftoff | |
The spacecraft was atop the centre launch vehicle 118 feet above the launchpad | |
The hatches on the spacecraft had been closed | |
Emergency crews were hampered by deathly smoke in removing the hatches | |
And an unknown number of launch crew were treated for smoke in halation | |
At the Cape Kennedy Dispensary | |
The crew had entered the spacecraft at 2 o’clock this afternoon | |
Minor difficulty had encountered during the countdown | |
The difficulty was the Environmental Control System | |
And the Communication System | |
All recorded data has been compounded and investigations into the accident have claimed the lives of Grissom, White and Chaffee |
