Yes, my mistake; the accident was Apollo 1, but if I remember correctly the warnings were given by someone who had worked on the high altitude balloon project regarding the oxygen being used during the Gemini program. I think the situation was that the balloon research had had a fire of their own as a result of a rich O2 atmosphere.

I know there's a book on the balloon research that mentions the warning given, but not heeded.
