CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – The sun rises over what remains of the historic gantry and support structures on Launch Pad 34 on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. On this day in 1967, a fire erupted on the pad during a preflight test, taking the lives of the Apollo 1 crew, NASA astronauts Virgil Grissom, Edward White and Roger Chaffee.
