    Apollo 1 fire and contractor accountability controversy

    A fire during a ground test killed astronauts Virgil Grissom, Edward White, and Roger Chaffee and led to severe criticism of the Apollo spacecraft’s design, materials, testing, and contractor oversight. North American was initially heavily blamed in public reporting, but later congressional examination did not assign sole responsibility to the company.
