Mass Murder or Utter Stupidity / Chap. 6 p. 49
panic the triple hatch which sealed them in usually took about nine minutes to open. They
didn't have nine minutes. In fact, they barely had ninety seconds before their suits burned
through and the deadly poisonous gasses released from the burning of modern plastics silenced
them forever.
The capsule's internal pressure soared from the great quantity of hot gasses created by the
quasi-explosive burning of all the combustible material. This short-term fire was so intense
that it melted a silver soldered joint on the oxygen feed pipe, pouring even more oxygen into
the conflagration.
At 6:31:17 p.m., 14 seconds from the first smell of smoke, the pressure reached 29 psi,
and the capsule ruptured, effectively releasing the heat and damping the fire. But it was too
late. They were already as good as dead.
If this was not murder and was just an example of extreme stupidity in governmental
slow motion, why did government agents in rapid action raid Grissom's home before anyone
knew about the fire Why did they remove all his personal papers and his diary Why didn't
they return his diary, or any other paper with the word "Apollo" on it, when they returned
some of his personal papers to his widow And if it really took 29 psi to blow the cabin, why
didn't they use regular air at higher pressure
Also, was it really the vicissitudes of life that the outward opening hatch was coincidentally
changed that very morning to one that opened inward An inward-opening hatch meant
that any inside pressure, acting outward, would prevent it from being opened — even if
someone was standing by, which they weren't. It was also bolted up from the outside and
lacked explosive bolts. 20
The Aftermath
NASA should have known better. And they did! You read earlier of the men injured in
flash explosive fires in their own tests. NASA had even commissioned a report by Dr.
Emanuel M. Roth which was published in 1964. Dr. Roth cited difficulties with 100 percent
oxygen atmospheres even under low pressures. Any competent engineer should have known
the dangers of oxygen at 16.7 or 20.2 psi. This is why I cannot believe that this was
"standard operating procedure"or that Grissom and his crew knew about it. NASA not only
ignored their own tests on pure low-pressure oxygen but upped the ante by increasing the
pressure above atmospheric!
Kennan and Harvey had this to say, "Most U.S. scientists could not believe their ears
when they learned that fact. Oxygen at such pressure comes in the category of an 'oxygen
bomb:" 21
The 204 Board of Inquiry
A board of inquiry termed "The Apollo 204 Review Board" was quickly convened to
investigate the fatal fire, and astronaut Frank Borman was appointed chairman. In effect,
NASA sent the fox into the chicken house to investigate mysterious disappearances of the
occupants. The board's final report was about what you might expect when an in-house
investigation investigates itself. "One key to the caution which reveals itself on every
