I dusted off my old DVD copy of this and watched it a few weekends ago.

Regarding the Apollo 1 fire, I made the mistake of listening to a recording of the raw cockpit audio from that day. Very haunting, to say the least.

Supposedly there is an audio recording of a Russian cosmonaught as he was falling back down to earth and he was cussing everyone out.

That recording is chilling and can be found inside the linked article.

I read a report on the Apollo 1 fire many years ago. That capsule was basically a bomb with all the pure oxygen laying around. Their deaths saved many lives.
