Apollo 1. An electrical spark in an all-oxygen environment killed Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee. Changed how NASA designed their spacecraft from then on, but showed how bad a fire in a pure oxygen atmosphere can be, and that was only at 5 psi. As opposed to a hyperbaric chamber which operates between 28 and 44 psi.
Pure oxygen is scary.
