Your Reply: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	[QUOTE]Originally posted by moorouge: [B] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Rick Boos: [b]Some accounts have Gus trying to escape the fire going beneath couch level. This is totally and absolutely false.[/b][/QUOTE] So the official report is false then. This says: <BLOCKQUOTE>[i]From the foregoing it has been determined that [b]in all probability the Command Pilot left his couch to avoid the initial fire,[/b] the Senior remained in his couch as planned for emergency egress, attempting to open the hatch until his restraints burned through and the Pilot remained in his couch to maintain communications until the hatch could be opened by the Senior Pilot as planned.[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE> The report also records that the bodies were unable to be removed initially because: <BLOCKQUOTE>[i]It became apparent that extensive fusion of suit material to melted nylon from the spacecraft would make removal very difficult.[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE> If you can't believe the official record, what can you believe?
