Sunrise over Launch Pad 34 on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida reveals only remnants of the concrete and steel of the once majestic launch gantry.

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.
