“APOLLO 13 RECOVERY--A water-level view of the Apollo 13 recovery operations in the South Pacific. The three astronauts have egressed their spacecraft, and Astronaut Fred W. Haise Jr., lunar module pilot, has already ascended to the helicopter. The other two crewmen await the return of the “Billy Pugh” net. Astronaut James A. Lovell Jr. (center), commander, will remain in the life raft until Astronaut John L. Swigert Jr., command module pilot, has boarded the helicopter. A U.S. Navy underwater demolition team swimmer assists with the recovery operations. The three Apollo 13 crewmen were flown to the USS Iwo Jima, primer recovery ship. Apollo 13 splashed down at 12:0:44 p.m. (CST), April 17, 1970, to safely conclude a perilous space flight.”
