Yeah, it is even more stupid to blame the hatch. They were in 100% pure oxygen and one little spark sealed their fate.

100 per cent oxygen and under high pressure. By the time the ground crew realized what was happening it was all over.

Well said. Imagine all those smart people who never thought to do a "what if?" analysis on what could go wrong in a pure oxygen environment?

The US space program of the 1960s was an amazing effort. Most of the computing power for NASA missions came from slide rules.
