Unusual Deaths in 1967

In a similar incident, a flash fire began in the pure oxygen environment during a training exercise inside the unlaunched apollo 1 spacecraft, killing command pilot gus grissom, senior pilot ed white, and pilot roger b. chaffee. the door to the capsule was unable to be opened during the fire because of its particular design. had the soviet union revealed the earlier death of valentin bondarenko, this incident could likely have been avoided.

Vladimir komarov became the first person to die during a space mission after the parachute of his capsule failed to deploy following re-entry.
