Two Airmen Die in Space Cabin Fire Experiment
In San Antonio Texas flames fed on pure oxygen in a space cabin simulator at the School of Aerospace Medicine killing two airmen during an experiment. One died within an hour and the other five hours later at an Army hospital. An intercom monitor heard a muffled sound and the technician opened a portal and flooded the chamber to dilute the oxygen. The interior was burned, likening it to the Apollo I capsule fire.
