As an Accident an Incident Investigator for 19 years in the airline industry, I was taught that there is a chain of events that produce an accident. If you can remove a link, you could prevent the accident from occurring. After investigating hundreds of incidents, I decided to focus on getting the correct information to pilots faster. I even came up with a prototype in 1997 when we were switching from paper to electronic manuals.
I was wondering if you have found if there was a chain of events that lead to the Apollo 1 and if any of the events were linked to systems knowledge. I am assuming that the radio communications issue would have been one of these links that could have been broken to prevent the accident, but I am not sure.
