<snip>

Here are some other quotes from that article:

"When the fuel cell tank exploded, taking out the whole side of the
service module..."
"What went wrong: Fuel cell tank exploded en route to the moon..."
"The explosion was found to have been caused by..."


....along with these quotes:

"...an oxygen tank in the service module ruptured..."
"The rapid expulsion of high-pressure oxygen which followed..." (from
the "...more..." link http://www.astronautix.com/details/apo27567.htm)
"...the crew reported...rapid loss of pressure in SM oxygen tank No.
2..."
"...an oxygen tank failure that aborted the Apollo 13 mission."


Two highly contrasting characterizations of the same event found within
the one article.
