For the Apollo 13 mission, the blackout was much longer than normal because the flight path of the spacecraft was unexpectedly at a much shallower angle than normal.[4] According to the mission log maintained by Gene Kranz, the Apollo 13 re-entry blackout lasted around 6 minutes, beginning at 142:39 and ending at 142:45, and was 1 minute 27 seconds longer than had been predicted.

It quotes Gene Kranz, the Flight director to the effect that the re-entry path for Apollo 13 was longer and shallower than normal, thus extending the re-entry blackout.
