Thanks for providing those excellent links. But they point toward my
exact frustration about this report. I can't search those .pdfs. If
anyone has OCR'd them, I've yet to see that published. Case in point:

Google ["electrically initiated fire in oxygen tank"]

Result: Your search...did not match any documents.

Yet this is a simple excerpt from p5-1 of the report:
http://drushel.cwru.edu/apollo13/ch5.pdf

How is it that something as simple as the offical report has this block
to accessibility? I'd like to see that fixed.

Now there's lots of great detailed info out there about the mission.
Take for instance this website that includes "CSM ECS-CRYO TAB" screen
captures:

http://myweb.accessus.net/~090/as13cryo.html

That site offers this other page as an excellent reference that, among
a plethora of outstanding info, explains that a real-time calculated
delta-v option of the LM DPS alone was 4830 fps with the SM jettisoned
(LM APS delta-v not accounted for):

http://myweb.accessus.net/~090/as13.html#ref
(Abort options are listed halfway down the page.)

There's lots more out there. I'd like to see a searchable version of
the official report added to that list of resources.
