Apollo 13 - A Spacecraft Explosion
Jim Lovell: "I knew pretty assuredly that we had definitely lost oxygen tank two" The Apollo 13 crew are in danger of losing far more than the moon. A fountain of liquid oxygen pouring into space and freezing in the vacuum. But it's not coming from tank two, its contents were lost immediately after the explosion. This oxygen is coming from tank one, leaking through a broken pipe,. slowly but surely bleeding out the command module's last reserve of oxygen.
