The review board noted a silver-plated copper wire running through an environmental control unit near the center couch had become stripped of its Teflon insulation and abraded by repeated opening and closing of a small access door. This weak point in the wiring also ran near a junction in an ethylene glycol/water cooling line which was known to be prone to leaks. The electrolysis of ethylene glycol solution with the silver anode was a notable hazard which could cause a violent exothermic reaction,[citation needed] igniting the ethylene glycol mixture in the CM's corrosive test atmosphere of pure, high-pressure oxygen.

You are truly out on a limb! AND, you have either a willful ignorance happening, as an apologist for "Jarrah White", or you ARE "JW"...

You try to use THAT to support these continuing crackpot allegations?
Kid, you are so far out, YOU might be on the Moon, for all we know (There is a long delay, connecting to you. Perhaps you're on Mars?)
IF you can't understand, and don't realize, really, what is meant by his comment, then I can only feel sorry for you, buddy.
IF, on the other hand, you are STILL using these same deceitful tactics willfully, then I call you out, and my accusations remain, as to your real agenda here...
Serious ATS members do NOT like being toyed with...and that goes for ALL of us. Unfortunately, I have no 'power' over you. However, the jury is watching your every move....

Another internet lie. It is unfortunate that, apparently, the son of "Gus" Grissom has fallen for it, too.
Note in the "article" that they mention a McDonnel Douglas engineer.
That is rather odd, since Douglas wasn't the contractor for the CM!
That was North American Aviation, THEY built the spacecraft.
Grissom said he recently was granted access to the charred capsule and discovered a "fabricated" metal plate located behind a control panel switch. The switch controlled the capsules' electrical power source from an outside source to the ship's batteries. Grissom argues that the placement of the metal plate was an act of sabotage. When the one of the astronauts toggled the switch to transfer power to the ship's batteries, a spark was created igniting a fireball.
Clark Mac Donald, a McDonnell-Douglas engineer hired by NASA to investigate the fire, offered corroborating evidence. Breaking more than three decades of silence, Mac Donald alleges that he determined an electrical short caused by the change over to battery power had caused the fire.

Huh... what?
Isn't that the point of using a INDEPENDENT engineer?
I mean, what are you exactly saying, Clark Mac Donald is a fictional character?
And your calling Grissom's son a liar?

Well you didn't look. Take your hands from in front your eyes. Its like theres a psychic block of the mind to see the truth.

Condolence to Family of Columbia Astronauts
PRESS RELEASE
(HOUSTON) February 1, 2003 – The family of Astronaut Virgil I. "Gus" Grissom, the commander of the Apollo 1 spacecraft that died during a fire on the launch pad on January 27, 1967, is extending their "heart felt condolences" to the families of the astronauts who died today during re-entry of the space shuttle Columbia.
Mrs. Betty Grissom, Captain Scott Grissom and Mark Grissom, know exactly what these families are going through "and want to make sure that these parents, spouses, brothers, sisters, and most of all, children, know that our hearts go out to them after this tragic event."
"My husband, like these other Columbia astronauts, made the ultimate sacrifice for science, space exploration, and their respective countries," said Betty Grissom, "and I know Gus will be there to greet them, wherever that may be."
Captain Scott Grissom, now an airline pilot for FedEx, recalls the death of his father clearly, and believes the United States should continue its manned mission in space. "My dad was on record for wanting the mission to continue in the event of a catastrophe," Captain Grissom said.
A few weeks before the fire in the Apollo 1 spacecraft, Commander Gus Grissom said "If we die, we want people to accept it. We're in a risky business, and we hope if anything happens to us, it will not delay the program. The conquest of space is worth the risk of life."
Betty Grissom said "I also hope that people of all nations, will put aside our differences today in a moment of silence, and say something special in their own way for each of these astronauts and their families today."

Dude just about everything in that frame is moving, how on earth do you think it is evidence that the flag has moved without interference?
I suggest you take your own advice about removing the hands from in front of your eyes. Take a good look at that clip, not just at the flag itself but at the surrounding scenery. You can see distortion all over the frame in line with the supposed flag movement. Same direction and everything.
If thats the best evidence he has for the flag moving independently then his evidence is non-existent. In line with pretty much every other claim hoaxers have made in this thread really.

And yet other opportunities to try to change the subject.
Still haven't found the source for your "Clark MacDonald" story?
I'm not surprised. There is no mention of the incident anywhere except 2 or 3 Hoax sites. They all rely on this article from the ever-reliable Newsmax from 1999.
Astronaut Was Murdered, Son Says
But the really interesting thing is that the Newsmax article itself uses the supermarket checkout tabloid "The Star", as its only reference.
There's investigative journalism for you! And again, there is no other reference to the claims by the family.
However, the family did issue this press release in 2002, not long after this story appeared, responding to the Columbia disaster:

They don't sound much like they were portrayed, do they?
Nice going boys, bit in the ass once again by not checking your sources.

Oh I love it,
You know how many questions and rebuttals Apollo propagandists have left unanswered on this thread? Its alot. How telling.
First of all, this thread is about Jarrah White, yet I see now true attempt to debunk his findings. Except making statements that his findings are bunk. how lame. Sorry guys, calling someone a liar doesn't make him a liar. And believing that man landed on the moon... sounds so ridiculous, wont make it true either.
Face it guys, there is no hard evidence for Apollo... not even soft evidence
