Original audio of Apollo 13 incident in real time:

It’s the original archived audio from the Apollo 13 incident, about an hour in length, starting a couple of minutes before the explosion and running through the initial troubleshooting and figuring out of what to do. And to my mind at least, it’s more gripping than the eventual movie (which was no slouch itself).

The audio tracks (put onto left and right of the stereo, respectively to give an intuition who’s talking) are what was on the ground crew audio and what Apollo 13 itself was sending back to Houston, which gives a round and real-time picture of the entire incident.
