The Apollo 1 launch pad testing accident which took the lives of Astronauts Ed White, Roger Chaffee, and Gus Grissom, led to improved launch pad testing procedures, improved QA of electrical/electronic devices, as well as safety procedures and emergency procedures for escape/egress should an accident occur. Many lessons learned from the accident are still incorporated into all Manned Flight spacecraft design and operation.
At the time, the capsule they were were in was saturated with 100% pressurized O2 - the oxygen was ignited by what is believed to be a faulty electronic device that sparked when turned on. In addition to the O2, there were other highly flammable objects in the capsule (e.g., Velcro and the spacesuits themselves), and the access hatch could not be opened for escape without much difficulty.
