“That was an unexpected accident, not a reasonably foreseeable risk”

Fire in a rocket is unexpected? They failed to identify and address the risk but it was certainly foreseeable.

Happy New Year! May this year see sanity, prosperity and moral fecundity.

The tragic Apollo 1 fire was not in a rocket, or on a rocket. The astronauts where doing in-capsule ground testing, the fire was contained withing the capsule, and that was horrible enough.
