Текст песни: Fire in the Cockpit + перевод

Astronauts Virgil I. Grissom, Edward White and Roger Chaffee were killed

tonight in a flash fire during tests 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 Houston time

Or at T-10 minutes prior to the planned, simulated liftoff

The spacecraft was atop the Saturn launch vehicle some 218 feet above the

launchpad

The hatches on the spacecraft had been closed

Emergency crews were hampered by dense smoke in removing the hatches

And an unknown number of launch crew workers were treated for smoke inhalation

At the Cape Kennedy Dispensary

The crew had entered the spacecraft at 2 o’clock this afternoon

Minor difficulties had been encountered during the countdown

The difficulty was the Environmental Control System

And the Communication System

All recorded data has been impounded pending an investigation into the accident

that claimed the lives of astronauts Grissom, White and Chaffee
