Apollo 1 and her crew were destroyed in an electrical fire on board the spacecraft during a training session while on the launch pad. Gus Grissom, Ed White - the first US citizen to walk in space, and Roger Chaffee lost their lives within minutes, well before anyone could open the cumbersome hatch or even get close enough to the craft due to the intense heat.
The training session had been plagued with problems, and Grissom was furious at the multiple problems the craft had. After the fire, the entire craft design was overhauled and the extra safety features quite likely preserved the Apollo 13 mission when the cabins became saturated in condensation, and it is thought the attention to insulating the wiring after the Apollo 1 fire prevented serious problems on Apollo13.
