according to the movie"the right stuff, he did. my theory is that he indeed was
responsible for the Apollo one fire,based on the telemetry from white and chafee's
couches. both white and chafee were alarmed about the beginning of the fire, but
grissom remained calm after communicating the beginning and then tried to escape
by crawling under his couch. how in the world did NASA expect him to go for at least
four days without a smoke?
He also failed to open the porthole, which would allow a drop in the oxygen level.
God forgive me if i am wrong, but this is my opinion based on what i have read on the
subject
The above is very wrong. If he smoked, you can bet he didn't do it in a tiny capsule with two other people inside! You can safely bet there were no cigarettes allowed in the capsule, as the ashes and smoke could mess up delicate systems. And the Apollo 1 had not have an open-able porthole... just a hatch that took not less than a minute and a half to open.
