I do believe NASA have had more than one fatal accident ever. If you read the second paragraph in the link, you will see that

... Low, who went on to become the 14th president of Rensselaer, was tapped by NASA in 1967 to rebuild the devastated Apollo program after three astronauts were killed in a simulator fire. ...

I didn't mention specifically Appollo 1, but the Apollo project in general, the simulator fire in particular. Unless it is false what is written in the link?

But then, I wasn't even born then, so what am I to know?
