Why they insisted on pure oxygen I will never figure out.
It wasn't the pure oxygen alone that was the problem.
1. Pure oxygen
2. Almost 17 PSI
3. Velcro in the cabin
4. Test not classified as hazardous, so routine (and only routine) safety protocols were in place
Any 1 of those factors removed and the incident either doesn't happen or isn't fatal.

50 years ago to the minute - give or take.
I just watched the Apollo 1 episode from HBO's excellent "From the Earth to the Moon."
Really dusty in here, now.

How did velcro contribute to the fire?
